This weekend has been a complete mishmash of activity and enthusiasm for
life, combined with some complete inactivity. In general, there have been some
clear morning highs and afternoon / evening lows throughout.
Saturday was jam-packed!
I woke up early and went straight to Tekka market to gather as many veggies as
I could physically carry back with me.
We then had a first birthday to attend fairly far north, so we grabbed a
present and coffee on our way, cabbed over for an hour or two of baby cooing,
discussing other peoples babies, eating weird finger food and baby cooing a bit
more. Then as soon as there were enough people for us to be able to leave
without emptying the house we ran out, grabbed another cab and went straight to
a birthday BBQ, armed with drinks and sausages and ready for a long afternoon. 
At around 7pm the full
group started to get ready to head over to Beerfest (an Oktoberfest style
celebration down by the river), but Nick and I skulked away to hide from the
masses. The rest of our day was spent on the sofa, watching the BBC version of
Pride and Prejudice and drinking tea. Not exactly ending the day on a high.
Sunday was more of the
same. I was up early to write thank you cards, clean the flat, run through all the
holiday laundry, get the kitchen and bathroom ready for when Debbie comes to
stay this weekend, and generally getting things done. Following a very quick
shopping trip and a lunch of noodles and broth at the local shops, we were back
in the flat and I was back in my jammies.
There followed an
afternoon of cooking and prepping, but it was far from as enthusiastic as my
morning had been. Sometimes a completely mixed bag is the only way a weekend
can be!
