Friends, no food, food, friends...

Have enjoyed a chillaxed and social weekend...the boys were doing the 40-hour famine yesterday although we only let them do the 20-hour option of no-food...Aaron's hang-dog expression was induced more from being deprived of the joy of food than actual hunger, and they got to have barley sugar sweets every two hours. We organized the day around a 4 pm tea of lasagne, garlic bread and salad though! I had a music practice with Bronwyn at 6 pm, then came home for pudding of peaches and ice-cream. Today was also most excellent...amazing sunshine following a cold front yesterday afternoon (actually we have been blessed with gorgeous autumn weather). I set up a slow cooker meal with the possibility of sharing it for lunch...last people to hang around at church won the prize; Graham and Liz were our guests. Brought out our second slab of Cadbury's Mousse chocolate for pudding...who needs anything else? Unfortunately they couldn't stay too long as Liz had a heap of things needing doing, so the next two hours were deliciously quiet and family-oriented in the sunny lounge. The afternoon service was superb...wish more people would attend the service to get the benefit! After church we decided that we needed to see the Camerons - it's been far too long and we've practically fallen off each other's friend radar. Had soup and bread with them (the great thing about dropping in at Matt and Rachel is that there's almost always some impromptu food option available :) ) and excellent fellowship. Thanks for the catch-up, chaps!
