Old School Date Night

Rory and I have recently started "date night".
We used to do it when the kids were little ... when we could put them to bed early.
That's not so easy now that Jono can tell time !
ha ha

Last week, Rory's parents were up for the weekend and agreed to watch the
kids while we had a date ... an outside the house date !
Since we are watching our budget,
we decided to get a some nice
crackers, a soft cheese,
some olives and
a nice dip.

We started our night with a walk along the beach.
The photo above is the only one I took the
whole night. I just couldn't resist
that sun poking through those
clouds ! Glorious, no ?
After our walk
which was
windy,

we
made our
way to another
beach and parked ourselves
on a blanket and had a picnic by
streetlight ! It was lovely but when the
light night started we decided to move on.

We walked the esplanade for
while in search of a nice
dessert. Didn't find
anything that
took our
fancy.

So
we came
home.

It
was so
nice to just
spend time together.
Tonight is date night # 2.
We'll be home. Rory planned it.
Since we have borrowed season 7 of 24
on DVD, we're going old school date night.
Rory has bought some chips, dip and COKE !
We're going to stay up late watching episode after
episode of 24 ! I haven't had a coke since we were in Denver
for Christmas 2008 so I'm sure the caffeine and sugar will do their
job and we might get through the whole season tonight ! ha ha. We might
though. We watched the first four last night so we only have 20 hours to go !!
We are planning to hit the BBQ's at the beach early tomorrow morning
though and have a pancakes on the beach breakfast before church.
Hopefully we will be able to drag ourselves out of bed !
We shall see !

This week's theme ... "Out Your Car Window"

My favorite thing out the car window is clouds !!
Here's a photo I snapped out the window a few months ago on a road trip ...
no, I wasn't driving !! Rory was !

{garden tour}

who wants to have a peek in our garden ?

the snow peas are fruiting like mad
we go out and pick and eat snow peas straight off the plant every day
they are so crisp and sweet !
help yourself ... there are plenty ...



some of you commented that you didn't know coriander bloomed
well, i don't know i you can call it blooming, even though i did
technically, it's called flowering
once it flowers, the leaves aren't that great to eat
but ... you get the seeds out of the flowers which you can use to grow more coriander
or you can grind to make ...

wait for it ...

ground coriander !!!



we've got roma tomatoes



and cherry sweetbites that are finally getting some color



heaps of strawberries too
we are slowly transferring our strawberries to hanging pots
to give us more room in the garden for veggies



and look ... green beans !!



look what the sky did while i was out there taking photos tonight

i just love it

the clouds

the sun

the colors

well, google reader tells me you all have been busy posting
since i last stopped by so i think i will finish this up and pop over for a visit ...
