We had a chilled out last weekend - it was probably the warmest weekend we've experienced all year. 23deg people!
We started Saturday with our cleaner coming over in the morning, and then we sat down for a nice 'local breakfast'. We got this sausage bun from Chinatown the night prior, along with two cups of Nescafe White Coffee from Singapore :)
Whilst I was away at Colour Conference the other weekend, K got a garden clearance team to come and literally clear our garden. To be fair I say team but it was apparently a Polish uncle with his lady boss telling him what to do. Poor uncle. Whilst I was happy the deed was done, I came home to find out that he cleared away all the weeds including my favourite plants too! Boohoohoo.. and K thought they were weeds… :( Well I guess it gives me a chance to plant what I really like. We've also got a gardener to come and do regular maintenance because after 2 years, we realise that we have no green fingers. Two trees have fallen under our care and weeds have effectively taken over the garden. I'm so looking forward to Daniel starting at the beginning of June.
We are also looking for a new front door for our house for sometime now, and K bought tickets for us to visit the Grand Designs fair at the Excel Centre. It was a huge place with loads of stalls and we put forth some enquiry. We saw security doors too with such huge and secure bolts and thick frames (cost more than GBP 3,000 - gasp), we were very impressed. Naturally not looking to get those as K said, we don't have THAT much valuables at home. I have to say it does feel all grown up now that I'm shopping for a front door.
K requested for bacon aglio oglio pasta for dinner that night and so we made a trip to the supermarket. He sent me in thinking I was to grab a packet of mushrooms and bacon but *sheepishly* I filled up a trolley full of stuff much to his shock. hahaha
On Sunday I suggested doing an impromptu BBQ in our garden as the weather was far too tempting. Yes BBQ for two of us :) As we learnt at Colour, we should make our marriage fun and interesting!

After filling up our bellies, I suggested driving to the garden centre near our home to get some garden inspirations. There I saw this beautiful pot of blue flowers that I couldn't resist. Only problem was, it was shedding petals like crazy. We had to carefully place it in the back seat and hope it wouldn't shed too much when we got home.
