Monday Monday

And just like that we're over another weekend and have powered through Monday.  I didn't expect it would be any different but Mondays are still Mondays no matter what hemisphere you're working in.  Kind wish I could skip them altogether.

We had a pretty excellent weekend I think.  The weather has taken a nice turn and this weekend was relatively cool.  Saturday morning was the perfect morning for sleeping in, cool and cloudy and I took advantage.  We chose to stay around the house rather that make a trip to the markets and I thoroughly enjoyed playing couch potato and surfing the internet all morning.  Leah went to a spin class and then came home and planted her nose in her Kindle.  In the evening we went over and had dinner with our friends who hosted our Christmas lunch and met another couple also attending Uni here.  A woman working on her PHD and her husband getting his teaching degree.  We had a really great time and sat on the deck drinking and chatting until 11:30 on Saturday.

Sunday was another easy day as we did nothing other than do a bit of shopping.  We got our groceries and I got a couple of work shirts and a pair of pants.  Woo I love shopping for clothes!! (this is sarcasm guys)  It actually wasn't too bad since they had a bunch of work shirts on sale and I got four shirts and the pants for less than $30, I'm a bargain hunter. Target comes through again.

Andrew and Melissa invited us over for dinner and put us up for a really excellent feed of roast pork with rocket, pine nuts and feta.  She also roasted potatoes and pumpkin (Butternut Squash back home) and did broccoli cauliflower and cheese.  It was really really yummy.  We've sort of loosely agreed to a monthly trade off with dinners.  I'll have to pull something good out for our turn, Melissa sets the bar pretty high.

I had meant to take some photos for the blog this weekend or at least try and shoot some video, but I really wasn't feelin it at all.  Sorry, I'm lazy like that.  We are planning our weekend and I think we have good stuff in store, I won't spoil it yet, but it should make for interesting blogging.  At least more interesting than this has been.

I spent much of my time this weekend with a calculator trying to figure out how to purchase scuba gear for myself and Leah and not feel too guilty about it.  Turns out I've decided to fall in love with a rather expensive hobby.  At the best prices I can find we'd have to do at least 30 dives each in order for it to be cheaper than gear rental and if we averaged two dives a day by fifteen days at $125 per person per day, plus the cost of the gear, well it costs a lot when you actually look at the numbers.  Unless the job fairy comes along and deposits a much larger pay cheque in my account, I don't think we'll be buying ourselves anything more than masks and snorkels.

I"m hot now and it doesn't seem like Casa Poquito is going to cool off that well tonight, I might have to douse myself in the shower before bed.  We're going to watch "Lost" on the internet tonight since we have plans for Wednesday night and we wont be home.

Hope you all enjoy your Monday.
