Sunday , "rest" day - yeah right...

After a big vietnamese banquet last night with friends and perhaps one too many red wines I woke this morning with a slightly hazy outlook. I had promised the girls banana pankakes for breakfast (like from Joe;s Garage) so set about making those with the help of the youngest. The pancakes were a pale comparison to those at Joe's but I learned a few things and will do a better job next time - having said that there were three empty plates so they weren't all that bad.

A 40 minute walk with Keeley and Holly followed. Holly had fun meeting some new dogs - Keeley was was great company once she got out of her bad mood. Thought it might loosen up my calves but it didn't. We stopped and gazed at the pair of owls that have returned to the tree next door for a while - one is now called Hedwig.

Rode down to the school with Keeley for 1.5 hrs of gardening at the working bee followed by a 3/4 hr snooze on the couch while the Car racing on TV which topped the afternoon off nicely.

For the last 4 weeks I have been trying to perfect Fettucini Cabonara. A restaurant could not serve up a better one than the one I cooked tonight! It really helps when you use the great Vic Markets produce though.

Meals cooked = 3, Shin pain= 1/5, Calf stiffness = 3/5 - in need of a massage asap (where are the helping hands girls when you need them?)
