It apparently snowed in the night but this was followed immediately by rain so there was no trace of it when I dragged myself out of bed at 11am. I never usually get up that late but I could not get to sleep last night and landed up reading reviews of the new Twilight movie until after 3am. It's not that I wasn't tired though - on the contrary, I was exhausted and sleep was very much welcomed when it finally arrived.
Stephen decided to make a full roast dinner for us today and we invited Sara & Donovan & K over. K is my godchild and she is two-and-a-half years old. Sara and I met in high school and have been close friends since 1988. Essentially, we followed them to the UK but would probably not follow them if they went back to South Africa again!
With a two-and-a-half year old child, you sure have to keep busy!!!
First we danced around a bit.
Then we bounced on my Swiss ball. It is the most that ball has been used in six months!!!
Then we watched Beauty and the Beast and ate roast beef, roast potatoes, peas and Yorkshire pudding. Yum! Stephen is an awesome cook. We tried to go for a walk after eating to try walk off our dinner but it started pouring with rain. We needed to tire K out somehow though...
So then we baked some cookies. K is a great cook! Maybe she'll grow up to be as good in the kitchen as Uncle Teev.
Of course, it's very important to clean up after a cooking exercise, so K had a couple of dishes to do.
All too quickly, our afternoon was over and Sara and Donovan and K have gone home. We've decided to have a quiet hour now before Top Gear is on television and so all you can hear in our lounge right now is the sounds of Ste and I tapping away on our respective keyboards. After that, I am going to study a bit and all I'll be able to hear from downstairs will be the sound of Ste giggling along to the Top Gear gags.
