Of course there are the basics – food, water, shelter, love, health – but then there are other more frivolous things that really fill one’s life. Great cheese for example. The ocean. Romantic dinners. Warm breezes (even in the middle of winter). Long distance telephone calls to reconnect, Good wine. The smell of a BBQ hard at work. And not leaving the house all day long if you feel like lounging.
This weekend was pretty simple at face value but when you think about all the great things we got to experience it was one for the books. Yes we stayed in all day on Saturday watching movies and relaxing. The day ended with a romantic dinner at a local fish restaurant (Garfish, http://www.garfish.com.au/ – we’ll have to take you there when you come visit!) and Sunday we visited Bunnings (AU’s version of Home Depot) and had some friends over for dinner. We raided the gourmet cheese cooler in the bakery below us (Four Olives) and stocked up on some amazing varieties for apps before dinner. I mean truly – can you really go wrong with AU brie, AU cheddar, manchego from Spain, homemade salami and rosemary bread?
Smiles, LAA
