Friday night Michelle and I were lucky enough to be taken out to the awesome Anise restaurant in the valley. We enjoyed a six course degustation menu with every course outdoing the previous.

The next morning we awoke far too early for a Saturday but it was a blessing in disguise – I finally got some decent time to play with my new toy. I managed to get down to the Optus store and picked up a 3G pre-paid sim card for the iPad. It only took an hour before the sim card was activated and I was surfing the interwebs – wifi free.

We then jumped in the car to get some coffee from Maccas before heading off to Ipswich to catchup with family. The car wouldn’t start after we picked up the coffee. The car is only two years old so we didn’t think it could be the battery but the RACQ guy told us that it was. Upon reviewing the owners manual we found that our battery warranty was for two years and our car was two years and six days old. So only a $140 later we were back on the road and on our way to the “swich”. It was awesome catching up my sisters, mum, nephews, cousins and aunty.

In the evening we had some old friends – Annette and Glen – over to ours for dinner. Michelle cooked up the tastiest lamb chops I have ever eaten. It’s always great to hang with Netty and Glen as they are always so joyful and cheerful.

We had the Dahls over for a bacon/banana/ice-cream pancake feast on Sunday for brekky before I tucked into work for a couple of hours.

I plan to spend the rest of today reading, watching videos and playing games on my iPad.

Yay for weekends.
