I woke up feeling abit better this morning and decided that i should pop out to the shops to post a few things that had been piling up. So off i tottled to the local shops, posted my items, grabbed a few things from the health food shop including some Ignatia Amara (a homeopathic remedy for stress) which i thought Yasu would benefit from, as his stress levels are reaching a high point lately, and then went and had a coffee.
After that i went shopping some more in an adjacent shopping centre which is only new, and is still undergoing construction work. I took a photo of the Christmas tree that they had put up, it was too big to fit in the shot.
After that, Yasu called me and said he was on his way home, did i want a lift? So i said i would do a bit of grocery shopping and he would come pick me up in an hour. I got what i needed to get, then sat outside waiting. When Yasu arrived we had a milkshake, him vanilla and myself spearmint.
After we got home i had a bit of a nanna nap, while he went online, until it started raining with thunder and lightning, so he had to turn the computer off. Then the power went off so we were contemplating what i should do about dinner, as i was planning on making a pot of soup with some home made garlic bread, which i couldn’t do without our electric oven.
Yasu had some errands to do near his work so i went for a ride, and while we were out we passed an Indian Curry buffet that Yasu had gone to ages ago, and he suggested we go there for dinner. Only problem was we were both in our tracky dacks (aussie slang for sweatpants/casual wear) but we decided to go in anyway in the hope no one would notice. They didn’t, and we were seated pretty promptly. The restaurant was called The Turban, and it had a good variety of curry dishes, rice, naan, side dishes, and all the extra’s. Dessert was included and there was plenty! Custard, fruit jelly with lychees, chocolate mousse, bread and butter pudding, green sweet sago, rice pudding – orange, white (not sure what difference the colours were, they were both very sweet), chocolate sauce, fruit salad, and some other very indian desserts but i don’t know exactly what they were. Included was a jug of water, and tea and coffee with dessert. It was pretty good value for $30 each. We both enjoyed the different flavours, and the butter chicken was absolutely divine. I’m not usually a big curry person but it was nice just to have something different, and i know Yasu was hanging out for a curry for a while, so it was nice just to go out impromptu.
My dinner
After that we stopped for petrol, then came straight home. Yasu realised that it’s only 8 days until his high school friend comes over from Japan to stay with us for a week, so he started cleaning all his junk out of the spare room. Luckily the girl will stay in our guest room, so we don’t have to worry about where she will sleep, it’s just that Yasu has all this stuff from Japan that he brought back with him last time (it was taking up space in his parent’s shed), and now he has to find somewhere to put it.
I’ve got to do a major clean up of the house this week, and weed the garden. I’ve been a bit slack with the housework the last few weeks. I just haven’t felt like doing any of it. But what am i saying? I hate housework at the best of times, i’m not exactly a super housewife normally anyway… haha :)
It’s bucketing down outside at the moment, i guess i will sign off before the power goes off again and i lose everything. Oh and if you’re wondering why suddenly i’ve been blogging every day….it’s just because i realised that it was kind of therapeautic to type my day out. A bit of therapy for me i guess.
Enjoy your weekend!
