Friendly competition

On the weekend in my house we have a competition of who can score the highest in the Stuff Daily Trivia Quiz and today, I won! I won not only in the daily quiz, but also the ANZAC quiz. 10/15 in the daily and 6/10 in the ANZAC quiz. I’m rather chuffed! They were decent wins too in comparison to the other results today where everyone else completely blew out.

A pity the weather is so dreary today as I was looking forward to another nice park day and lunch outside. I’m really enjoying this extra long weekend for Easter and ANZAC Day. I took Thursday and I’ve taken Wednesday off work as well to give me seven days off. Leisurely. The weather was gorgeous on Thursday but I spent half of it shopping in Oxford at Chatswood Westfield. I love that shop! I bought a skirt suit and matching pants, a dress and a blouse.

Friday we enjoyed the beautiful sunshine at the park and that night we had a birthday BBQ. I made a potato bake and my legendary rhubarb, apple and berry crumble – both of which worked an absolute treat!

Saturday was a lazy rainy day with two DVDs (only $2.99 each from our local Oovie) – Machete and The Social Network – and home made chicken burgers for dinner. Sunday we had brekkie, coffee, run at the park and lunch at Pattisson’s Patisserie at St Ives then home made pizzas last night, yum.

So what to do today? On this drizzly day? Perhaps some more DVDs and baking later in the afternoon.

I feel like chicken tonight

Today was the first game of netball for the season.

I felt match fit and ready to go, especially after bonding with the team at Monday night’s Round Robin. Wearing my new uniform (unflattering cut and rather short!) and new Adidas Net-burners we were ready to go get ’em! Unfortunately we had two mediocre umpires who missed many calls and even when they did make a call, most of the time it seemed the incorrect decision. To the point where it resulted in me getting a warning for contesting an umpires’ decision in the last quarter …

We lost, although it was a close, competetive game and we played well as a team.

A quiet night in tonight with a DVD – Matching Jack. A pizza to be ordered from Pizza Tutti’s at Northbridge- I’m going to try their Smoked Chicken pizza tonight and very excited about that. Their pizzas are amazing. Good size, very reasonably priced and fresh, well proportioned ingredients. My preference to date has been the Tandoori Chicken so I’m tryign something new tonight.

Dessert tonight? I shouldn’t. Perhaps a little tub of yoghurt but nothing more. I say that as I munch on a handful of Red Rock Deli ‘Lime & Black Pepper’ crisps 😉

Everyone seemed to love my Lemon & Coconut Slice last week and the chocolate crackles were a real hit at the party too.
