Winter Weekends

Supposedly we have the English Industrial Revolution and Henry Ford to thank for extending the weekend from one day to two.  Regardless of who's plan it was, I really do appreciate the time I get to spend with family and friends, as it can be so difficult coordinating catch ups due to everyone living such busy lives.   This weekend has been filled with visiting family, get togethers with friends, eating, cooking (well trying to cook) and film viewing.  

I have also VERY recently taken up ocassional coffee drinking; short blacks with a glass of water on the side.  This has resulted in a bit more reading and people watching at our local coffee shop.  There is something so gratifying about sitting, sipping on a nice cup of tea or coffee and enjoying the moment.  Whilst coffee is a nice weekend treat, green tea is still my favourite.  What's your favourite beverage?

 Our local coffee shop Dello Mano make lovely coffees and sweet treats which Mr B loves.

 

This is last month's Tatler and it has proved to be a fascinating read.  I always buy Tatler a month late, as it halves the price! 

Breakfast at the New Farm Deli is always delicious. 

Butter is my absolute favourite nail polish.  It is light and so far has not chipped. I don't wear it very often but love it when I do.  

My local health food shop sells their entire range of colours, however I will stick to this shade for a while. 

This colour is called Come To Bed Red

After doing a lot of research into ballet flats I finally purchased a pair of Bloch ballet flats.  The dream was to save up for some Lanvins, however since I am meant to be mindful of saving for bricks and mortar, I opted for Bloch.  I am so glad I bought them, as they are extremely comfortable and reasonably priced. 

 I ordered them from Endless.com (Amazon.com's shoes and accessories website) and I would purchase from them again as they had a large range and free delivery. 

Strangely this plain black pair have been discontinued here in Australia.  I am always perplexed when a simple classic design is taken off the production line.  Sad times. 

My happy colourful Desigual knit has been attracting smiles and comments from everyone.  I even got smiles and enquires while at my local petrol station.  The company's ethos of spreading happiness clearly works.

This is a new pizza base I tried recently; made from almond meal and coconut flour.  Mr B loved it, although I found it a little sweet.  I am going to try it out again tonight, however will play around with some of the ingredients.  Coconut flour is my new favourite ingredient.  

Do you like Miles?  I have been listening to quite a bit of jazz this week.  My favourite Mr Davis tunes are So What and Whispering.  Click here to listen to his fabulous music.

Hope you are having a lovely weekend, full of happy moments with family and friends.
