Everything is fine until the bloody weekend, isn't it?!
Received an invite for a Hell's pizza and wine on Saturday night and well, y'know, beggars can't be choosers an' all that and do I want to make friends or not? Besides which, their pizzas are the weirdest and nicest I've ever tasted. Had an enjoyable evening with a couple who, it turns out, used to live about 20 minutes drive from us in England. They have a woodburner at their home. How posh! Didn't want to leave - it was so lovely and warm. When will the Kiwis discover mains gas and install central heating to their homes, I wonder? Out and about on Sunday, weather absolutely atrocious. Comforted ourselves with bowl of pasta, garlic bread and more wine at a late lunch in Parnell, a place which quotes itself as a "haven of distinctive up-market boutiques, galleries, restaurants, cafes, bars, beauty spots and shops." It's a charming, olde-worlde sort of place... well olde-worlde for a country only a few hundred years old.
Anyhow the main principle of this diet was not to eat carbs for a couple of weeks.
Ho-hum.
Update: Burnt dinner so sending for take-out and yes, I shall be having a 'Pandemonium' pizza and samosas!!! Doomed I tell you... I'm dooooooomed.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss the fun
of getting there.
Life is not a race,
so take it slower,
hear the music before the music is over, take your time and stay happy...
