Sunny Afternoon

The law firm Dave works for has recently opened a new branch in Carnoustie, a town about 30 minutes or so from Dundee. Although the office has been open for a few weeks now, the official opening do was last Friday after work. They've done some renovations on the office and it's looking really good. On the way home from Carnoustie, we popped into Aldi (discount supermarket originally from Germany) and picked up some peanut brittle. Yum.

Last Friday was also my friend Lydia's birthday so I made a quick turn around after getting home from Dave's office party and headed out to "Antonio's" to celebrate. It was an Italian restaurant, as the name might suggest. Unfortunately, I was pretty full from the food I'd eaten earlier in the evening so I had to bypass the amazing looking mains and settle for an appetizer.

We bought a rotary drier for the back yard a couple of weeks ago, but yesterday was the first free day we've had where the weather has been nice enough to let us pour the concrete for the base and have some hope of it drying the same day. I christened the drier this afternoon and took a picture to mark the auspicious occasion. We have a drying area at the front of the house, but it's right on the public footpath so I rarely use it unless I'm going to be home the whole time to keep an eye on the clothes. Not that I think anyone's likely to march of with my knickers. :D


I did hang up some towels to dry out front recently and it did look like I was making some sort of patriotic guesture.

This is a picture of the home-made pizza that Dave made last night for supper. He even made the dough and sauce from scratch. I was impressed. Of course it was a Meat Lovers pizza with extra meat and extra cheese. Typically Dave. He doesn't consider anything a proper meal unless there's meat in it.


While I've been sitting blogging, here's what Dave's been up to:


Off to enjoy the rest of the sunny afternoon.
