First Weekend Post-Househunting

Now that the house-hunting is over, it feels good to have gained our weekends back!

On my way home from work on Friday, I caught a glimpse of this double rainbow...


It looked far more impressive in real life, but of course being the responsible citizen that I am, I could not afford to take a better photo.  This was snapped from my iPhone sitting in its little handsfree mount!

I have noticed more and more rainbows around Melbourne recently (which has increased my driving time greatly, since often when I see them I feel compelled to keep driving to follow them, even after I have reached my destination!) and I love them!  Unfortunately, they also seem to be accompanied by (or are as a result of) this constant we weather we've been having.

Saturday night we headed out for dinner for my cousin's birthday.  I bought this cute little puppy cake, and also the little longevity man figurine as a cake-topper at Liam's insistence.


Poor little cake was a little tense, so we administered some acupuncture treatment...


No wonder he'd been nervous though... Look what happened next!


I can at least confirm that he was very very tasty!

After dinner and cake, Liam and I settled down in front of the TV for one of my favourite events of the week - Saturday Night Football!


We are avid football fans, and are known amongst our friends as the crazy couple who will be at the stadium every week!  Often twice a weekend, if not twice a day, if that's when our teams happen to be playing.  Unfortunately due to the impending mortgage repayments which are in our immediate future, we've had to cut down on this.  Sadface. 

After the game, Liam attempted to put himself to bed although only got half way off the couch until he gave up it seems!


It must have worked wonders for him though, because when he woke up the next morning (and yes, after I stopped laughing at him I did wake him up and send him off to bed!) he was full of energy and decided to whip up a yummy breakfast for us.


Mmm... look at all those lovely fresh vegetables!


Let's just say he's more organised than I am!  When I cook, the kitchen is a horrible mess and I'm always fumbling for the ingredients at the last minute when everything needs to be in the pan.

It's got to be said - there is something very appealing about a man in the kitchen...


Especially when he produces tasty food like this!


I've said it once, and I've said it a thousand times... weekends just disappear far too quickly! 

Tell me what you got up to! xx

    1. Haha! I know, I was amused every step of the way with the cake cutting.

      Yes! There's been a lot of rain, hence a lot of rainbows lately in Melbourne. That's ok. Between us, we're sharing the double rainbow love!

      Oh, for sure! Liam has been told that he will be familiarising himself with our new kitchen once we move! Haha xx

      Definitely was good to kick back and not stress about having to be at inspections at certain times, etc.

  9. I’m glad that your house-hunting ended on a happy note. I definitely know that feeling having found after the long search, you finally found that one property that fits your criteria. It was overwhelming for us. But one thing is for sure: all those sleepless nights of looking and digging the Net for the right house is definitely worth it!

  10. Having a new house is a great news and worth celebrating for! Isn't it fulfilling to invest your time and effort on a house where you get to relax? Though it's been a year, still, allow me to congratulate you for having your own house.
