One activity we did in our full day was we headed for the library to participate in the FREE Japanese Cultural Day. There was food to taste, drumming to listen to, lollies to sample, paper to fold, toys to try, Japanese writing to master and traditional dress to parade in. Dolly had a great time and I bumped into 6 friends in the short time and small space. So I was able to squeeze in some socialising too.

On our return home at 4pm, The Rambling Expat was also home after a fishing trip and was cutting up a tuna he caught. He cooked a delicious meal of tuna, onion, tomato, garlic and herbs in the wok and dished up with rice. He is not usually proactive in the kitchen so this was a pleasant and welcome change. (Click on the link above to see the playing dolphins he saw - lucky duck - Dolly is still too small to take on a full fishing day out to sea.)
Today was somewhat frugal but I did spend money... $13 at the op shop, $12 on a glass measuring jug and $7 on junk food. It's the junk food that is a huge problem with me in the last few weeks. I need to get over the terrible hurdle and be better organised and willpowered to not fall in the junk food trap.
How was your day? Leisurely or hectic? Did you keep your spending down, saving for those important things in life? Wasted some hard earned cash like me?
what a great library activity
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely event. I love freebie days like that xx
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day! :) I haven't really had a chance to spend much lately - lots of working instead. I'm going Christmas shopping on Wednesday though - only really going for mulled wine and to soak up the atmosphere, so hopefully I'll keep my pennies in my pocket!
ReplyDeleteDolly was adorable. With the pictures she will never forget the experience.
ReplyDeleteYou can clean the house another day or in increments each day. Your day was well-spent. Let that man know how sexy he is in the kitchen. Ooops, he reads this, right? Well, I did not see him, eat the food, or see him, but that is downright sexy to most women. Other household chores count as sexy.
Today? Leisurely or lazy? Lazy except for hen care. But, I had a hard day yesterday. Read today's blog post for the details.
This afternoon, I did start filling the dehydrator from yesterday's bounty.
On yesterday's post I outlined my weight-loss/healthier life desires. Good luck.
NOW, it is 5 pm, and I suppose I should wash dishes.
I so get the being active bit and the house falling into a tip! Just like my house does every weekend when its supposed to be time for sorting it out... nah better things to do!
