A good weekend

But then again, when isn't it?

It started with food (as usual). I made a pretty good paella on Friday (key difference: adding paprika rather than Chorizo), followed by a self-saucing chocolate pudding. You know the exiting type where it looks like a chocolate pudding and you find gooey chocolate stuff in the middle.

On Saturday I did something a bit different and went to have some professional photos taken. This was mainly to enter the Miss Backgammon 2007 tournament. I got the chap to take a couple of me and Sean at the end - here is one. Sean complained that he wasn't warned and hadn't had time to wash his hair but I insisted. The photogropher told us that I had to look less happy and Sean had to look more so.

We've also been working on a top secret backgammon project - I can't tell you or I'd have to kill you - which has been fun.

And finally, today we had (inspired by Friday) mussels on the balcony. My first attempt at mussels was really disappointing; they were almost all dead. However of the mussels I bought on Friday only one died (out of 15) and today only a handful from 1.7 kilos. Seafood in the sunshine - that's what Australia is about!
