Fantastic Easter Weekend


I hope you enjoyed yours. I worked out that this was the best weekend of the year, because:

  • It's the only 4-day weekend of the year
  • It was pay-day on Thursday
  • Pay-day was also annual bonus day

So not only did we have lots of free time, but money in our pockets to boot. Hooray :)

We didn't go anywhere special, but we got to do plenty of relaxing. Unfortunately, Steph had to work some of the Friday, while I went for a 3-hour walk in Stanley Park. It was lovely to get out in the fresh air and have some peace and quiet. On Saturday we cycled around the park - the first time this year we have ridden our bikes. They are still in one piece, and nothing got stolen from them over the Winter which was lucky as we left our helmets and tyre pump in the storage room - oops! After the bike ride Steph cooked a fantastic veggie lasagne, and I went out and bought a new TV. I can connect it to my computer, so now we can watch our downloaded TV and stuff on a big screen - ace.

On Sunday we went for lunch with some friends at Cardero's in Coal Harbour. Sunday afternoon was cleaning (boo) but I also made a bread and butter pudding for dessert, which was somewhat successful (it tasted pretty good, but was very wet). Monday, we went to see "There Will Be Blood" at the cinema (review coming soon) and then went to Vij's restaurant for some fab Indian food.

I reckon that was a pretty fine way to spend four days :)
