We've just spent a v ery lazy weekend doing nothing much at all, which is a bit of a change for us and therefore enjoyable.

Following being mulleted yesterday morning (well, I was anyway), we headed off for a family picnic in a nearby "Heritage Park".  After walking up an enormous hill we ate bread and cheese and dips and fruit and then we played on the equipment, the main feature of which was one of those newish round-about things built on a slope that rely on gravity and fat people for momentum.  As the resident fat person, I duly rode with the boys on it for about a half hour before retiring due to queasiness.  The baby played in the sandpit (which was searched for cat poo prior) and crawled to her little heart's content.

The boys had brought their blade scooters and eldest son didn't want to bother with his on the walk back to the car, so I got to ride down the hill on it, which I must admit was the highlight of the weekend.  I haven't done anything like that for a good 25 years.

Went for afternoon tea at a nearby cafe and yesterday evening watched the first Harry Potter movie which happened to be on telly.

This morning was my turn to get up early with the kids (we take it in turns on the weekends) and today was our designated Cholesterol Day and so it was bacon and eggs for brekky.  Did nothing for the rest of the day until this afternoon rendered it necessary to go to the supermarket for food.  Boys came with me, wanting to spend their pocket money, and we pottered around Kmart for a while.  I bought 2 dvds - the Goodies and the second season of Vicar of Dibley.

Managed to finish listening to my online module for the writing course I'm doing and submitted my first piece - which was only one paragraph, so quite easy to achieve. 

Also managed to work on some arrangements for songs and get the bones of some parts in, so happy with that.

All in all, a successful weekend, I think.
