Long weekend recap

I am sad that my 4 day weekend is coming to an end... Back to work tomorrow.. but it's only a 3 day work week because we get Friday off!! Yeeehaa!! Thanks for the free day off Will & Kate!! (Uhh.. that is "The Royal Wedding" of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton, in case you've been living under a rock... or maybe just outside the UK!)

Friday
*Sleep in
*Make lunch for the mister (he had to work - HAHA!, but he came home for lunch)
In a never ending quest to find more things to sandwich bacon between... TATTIE SCONES!!
*Baked mint & choc chip cookies
*Uploaded photos to picasa and organised it into albums ready for each post I'm going to do, rather than all being jumbled up in one HUGE album...
*Made cornbread
*Made pulled pork
*Ms Yaz came over for craft night.. she worked on another shirt skirt and I fixed my pj bottoms, finally sewed the velcro onto my pillowcase cushion cover and got started on turning a duvet cover I thrifted into pj bottoms...

Saturday
*the mister & I went to get our hair cut - thanks Groupon!!
*we went to IKEA - we bought two Pello chairs, some Gorm baskets for our Albert in the kitchen, ice lollie makers, some elderflower syrup, some hemming tape & I found a curtain & cushion in the clearance section that I'm going to turn into a nice cushion for our bedroom...
*we then quickly got ready to go to Mr S's 30th B'day & Leaving Party Ceilidh.. it was AMAZING!! We had such a great time!! a ceilidh is like a big dance... (think like a ho-down or a barn dance) hahaha...  I will hopefully get photos up soon so you can see!!

Sunday
*it was a super sunny day so we decided to go to Jedburgh to see the Jedburgh abbey (I will post a separate post about our trip)
*I totally spaced and forgot Joe was in town after a tour of the Highlands... but we made it back in time to meet up with him before he had to get on the overnight bus back to London.. and I totally forgot to take a photo of us together... but I took photos of the food we ate at The Albanach!!
I had the beef stew with suet dumplings.. it was totally nommy!!
the mister had Balmoral Chicken - chicken stuffed with haggis
Today
*sleep in
*take lots of neurofen for tum cramps.. :(
*vacuum the flat
*tidy up my dressing room (our spare room where most of my clothes live, the mister has his clothes in the wardrobe in our room)
*put laundry on x2
*bake ferrero rocher/creme egg/mars egg/caramello egg cupcakes
*bake another batch of mint choc chip cookies - will post recipe soon..
*make pork noodle soup for dinner - there's a post coming up about that too!
*catch up on lots of blog reading
*thinking about baking some ANZAC cookies for ANZAC day today...

  3. I love elderflower everything but it's surprisingly hard to find in the US :(

    All of the cooking you've been doing makes me hungry! I've barely cooked anything all week! I'm a bad housewife, haha!
