love-day...wit woo!

I woke up to this:



And some morning blackboard-coffee-love...



What did you get up to?

things and stuff of late...

Things have been very busy, but discouraging lately....so I baked! (Which, really, solves all the world's problems...)..but since I don't eat sugar...I got to do some fun baking for other people:



Chris has just started giving piano lessons to a young boy from our church...so we made him a cake for his first lesson....He gobbled it up, quicker than he learnt 'proper' technique!




Youth group starts up again tonight, with a 'MEGA CHOC' night...so we baked a triple layer, 'death-by-chocolate' cake..and are also making some Nutella pizzas (italian memories *sigh*....)



And...some lovely flowers and an origami crane that my husband gave me last week...made my week!! Unfortunately they lasted little more than a day in the current heat! Origami still going strong...

jazzy jollys...

Last night my very talented husband played to a sold-out house at the Brisbane Jazz Club with one of his bands, the Chris Poulsen Trio. I was so proud of him!!!! It was such a great night, and the guys played so well! It was their first major 'performance' gig for the year, and they impressed everyone....with a few CD sales to boot!

They even did a rendition of Sesame Street's, 'Pin Ball Countdown'!!

lazy day...

Monday is our 'day off'...after a crazy, draining weekend with Church stuff, we usually just crash! So it was 'lazy lunch day'! I can't stop eating swedes at the moment - I wish I had discovered this vegetable years ago! It is very underused....
