another weekend gone
This past weekend was a bit more interesting than some others I've had lately.
On Friday evening Cam, Rach and I met Kim and Quentin for a nice meal out at Little India restaurant. I'd been craving one of their dishes for a while so was glad to finally go! Don't ask me to remember the name of it but I usually get it in chicken, but this time I decided to try lamb. Always stick to what you know!! The lamb wasn't that nice, plus I also asked for mild and it had quite a kick to it!! Was kinda sad that after all this time of looking forward to having this dish, it was disappointing. Kim had the chicken version and said it was really yummy. Damn! From there we went to The Bank for dessert as we weren't really into the Indian desserts. There we also managed to catch the second half of the Chiefs vs Crusaders game......good game but sadly we lost (but with this, I scored 8 points in Virtual Rugby!!!)
On Saturday morning, Jo and I went to the Woman's expo at Claudlands Showgrounds. We've been for the past 2 years, and this year was just as interesting. Jo scored a half price voucher so that made it more interesting for us! Heaps of free trials and competitions to enter. We wandered around for nearly 2 hours!! To finish with, we went and saw the Backrub Company and had a 10 minute backrub! Oh how I miss them from the old EW days.....
Was meant to head to Tauranga for the night to watch the Teams stockcar racing, but it was raining off and on, and I'm not THAT big a fan to sit in the rain and watch. Decided to stay home that night instead, and Cam, Rach and I watched Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo then Crash. Crash was a great movie and I can see why it won the Oscar for best picture. Had a lot of moral stories in it, basically about racial issues. It has one of my current favourite actors in it, Don Cheadle.
On Sunday Jo and I drove to Matamata to meet up with my friend Sarah Murray who has recently moved back to NZ after being away for just over 2 years. It's probably nearly 3 years since we last saw each other. It was a great catch up! It is definately one of those friendships that you can be out of contact for a while, but just pick up where you left off. Great to see her again. Won't get to see too much of her as she's moving to Invercargill at the end of the week to start her new job! Of all the places.....
So that was my eventful weekend! This coming weekend will be interesting. I was going to be home alone as everyone else was going up to the U2 concert - but they've postponed! Who knows what will happen now!!
