Wonderful weekend with family

Hi!
Happy Sunday!
I never normally say that. Friday is THE Happy day but I've had a brilliant weekend with family and friends so Sunday deserves the adjective too.

Thursday night - had friends round for dinner. Made yummy pulled pork. Recipe from 100daysofrealfood.com  Its the second time I've made it and its ideal for mid week entertaining. Especially when the night before, when you are preparing your baked ricotta cheescake, it ends up too dry, boyfriend hates the taste and it takes you 4 attempts to make your caramel at 10.40pm at night. We wrote off the cheescake and confidence plummeted for the cooking of the main course. That awesome slow cooker recipe saved me. Especially when I served the pulled pork with baked beans (yes from a tin) and roast potatoes and sweet potatoes. Easy.

Friday- drove back to my family home, this is a nice tune in the driving theme:.I drove all night Cyndi Lauper version
Had a lush Mouts lime and kiwi cider on arrival. Very nice but my favourite is still Kopparberg brand.

Saturday - Had a breakfast meeting with the girls. Catch up on our lives at el cheapo Wetherspoons. Was mock-shocked at the people on a hen do in full-on fancy dress necking the blue wkds at 10.30am. Wethas is a magnet for us all.
I ate a breakfast wrap with free refill coffee and had a smoothie. I needed the smoothie as I am among the 40% of the population that have had an autumnal sore throat/cold this week. Still got to hammer the vit D so make sure I am back at 100%.

In the afternoon, watched my baby bro playing rugby (they won WOOP!). Mum and I can never keep track of the score -we always have to ask some person. It was particularly embarrassing to ask on Sat as we both had a cider (Kopparberg) at half time, so we must have looked like two lushes too half cut to know what the frig was going on.

In the evening, caught up with cousins and aunts and uncles. Was such a laugh and we had a 5 year old doing charades for us that always were 1 word and had only 1 action with them.

Sunday - nice lunch( pork), nice cake (Guinness), nice pudding (blackberry + apple crumble) read Game of Thrones - breakthrough on the GoT slogathon btw, now on book 4 AHEAD of the TV series. 

And here we are. Not letting camera issues and lack of photos stop me babbling on.

Hope your weekends were wonderful
