Sunday Afternoon Catch up

So much for trying to blog everyday...guess I shall just have to try and recap what I can.So...The last thing I posted was probably on making my pink timeless wreath.Ok - this was back to Wings evenings for me so that made for a tiring week - next week Wednesday evenings start up again so then its 3 nights I am at work and home late.Friday evening was a home night just to relax and play my new-found Candy Crush and Bubble Witch games - it is always nice to have an evening to do absolutely nothing. Found out that Terry had been admitted to the hospital for severe back pain - at first we thought abdominal pain and thought he had stones in his bladder but turns out it is his lower back that was causing him severe pain. He was under observation for a couple of nights but has to go back as they need to further assess a lesion on his liver. Tough being far away and not really knowing what is going on.

 Saturday we decided that we would take a sunny Saturday drive down to the mailbox in Bellingham. Truth be known Darcy had some xbox games waiting for him - his excuse is to play with Todd, Evan and C.K and he is actually doing that right now as I am typing - playing some shooting game with Todd. It's getting annoying so I might have to vacate the doggie/man cave in the basement. Back to going down to Bellingham...so the usual...went to Trader Joes' and then to Cash & Carry, the usual Costco and then back home. We never go down for too long...just get the stuff we need and head home. The worst thing that I ever saw where two giant jars of sausages that I have attached picture of - so gross!

So far on this Sunday - went for lunch at Cotto - Gabriel's treat for Chrissy and Darcy's pre-birthday. It was alright - not really somewhere we are likely to return to. We did have a nice fried Gnocchi with arugala and pancetta bits, prosciutto with melon and 2 pizzas. One was good but the other with was a little bitter with the fried brussel sprout leaves. Darcy has likely posted pics.  Today I also completed my re-reading of Pride & Prejudice. I love this book and each time I read it I find more memorable parts

.Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved reading this classic Jane Austen again...I cannot even recall how many times I have completed this wonderful gem of a book. The reason why I re-read it is because I ran a series of Jane Austen classics movie versions at Glen Pine and that motivated me to read the books again. Of course I am also planning to go through all the prequels and sequels - all the fan fiction that has Mr. Darcy at the centre. I have to say that Jane Austen was brilliant - she really was ahead of her time and she wrote some great truths. Of course this book has so many memorable quotes that have become so popular.
I highly recommend everyone to have a Jane Austen binge!!!

Watched the Golden Globe Awards and had grilled cheese sandwich for dinner as Darcy was making a pot of his speciality chili. House smells very spicy Mexican. I am sure it will be delicious. He really has become quite an accomplished chef.
