Extracurricular activities

I enjoy extacurricular activities after work. It’s a way for me to enjoy some ‘me’ time and do something for ‘me’ that I can express myself in.

I have previously enjoyed courses such as :
* Beginners Salsa
* Easy Entertaining Cooking
* French Taste – cooking recipes from the Champagne region
* Guitar – Stage 1
* Kickboxing for fun & fitness
* Meditation

The time has come again where the Mosman Community College course book arrived in our mailbox. Everyone knows that I’m the only one in the household really interested in this otherwise piece of ‘junkmail’ so I am pleased it was left on my desk before being sent to the recycling bin, especially since we have a new flatmate who seems to have taken it upon himself to decide what is ‘junk’ and what is not!!

There are a several courses I am immediately interested in and pages are ear-marked. Although upon further reading this morning, I have narrowed my choice down to just a few:
* Cupcake Tier Workshop
* Bake It, Bottle It, Sell It
* Mindful Marketing Plans
* Amazing Cup Cakes
* Great Dinner Parties
* Fusion of Eastern & Western Style Home Cooking
* Grape To Glass Wine Appreciation
* Firm up! Fitness Class
* Fabulous Abs!
* Global Dance Exercise and Zumba Fitness
* Kickboxing Fitness Intermediate
* Latin Jazz Hop Hop & Zumba Fitness

Ok, so maybe that was more than just ‘several’ course I am interested in …. the decision is so difficult!

It is a shame that there are a few other one day workshops that interest me, however they are on a Saturday so would clash with netball and you know how important fitness is to me!

I think the easiest thing for me to do will look at timing of each, as perhaps I can do two whereby they may both be on the same evening at the same location with one immediately following the other. Hmmm … decisions decisions.

Oh and this morning, home made crepes for brekkie with lemon, banana and honey …. yum yum 🙂 Coupled with a coffee from Gloria Jeans across the road in Northbridge Plaza. Perfect way to start my Sunday. We’ve since taken Beau for a run at the park and plan to have a late lunch at Not Bread Alone.

Rainy days

Could there be a better start to a Saturday morning, than home-made corn fritters with a glass of fresh pulpy orange juice and shortly followed by a strong coffee with the new edition of House & Garden?! Rainy Saturday mornings are meant to be lazy days relaxing on the lounge.

My dog is desperate to get out for a morning run at the park. He knows it is a weekend and weekends = lots of play time! We opened the back doors and he could smell the beautiful fresh air with the scent of rain and wimpered when he wasn’t allowed out.

These are the days when spring cleaning should not just be done in ‘spring’. When you can rummage through your wardrobe and send to St Vinnies the outfits you haven’t worn in three years. Don’t just keep it with the thought that you ‘might wear it one day’. If you haven’t worn it in the last year, that ‘one day’ won’t be soon! As much as I hate to say it, same goes for shoes. These are the days when the duster and mop really come alive to the tune of the vaccum in the background and bathrooms are scrubbed top to toe.

As much as we need the rain and it is a god-send for my garden, I do hope the sun breaks through the clouds today for an afternoon stroll and Beau’s doggy play-dates.
