a lovely, lovely weekend

in some ways i think the first warm and summery weekend of the year is the best. it was sunny. it was warm. it was the first summery weekend of the year.

friday night we found ourselves back at wine club #2: chile. it was good fun as usual and we all got to check out kel & lou's new kitchen, which has the same backsplash and tiles as mine, but it's all about taking ideas from the stuff you like.

saturday i spent some time making slightly gourmet picnic food before davoud and i packed up the basket, got some cold beers and made our way over to the wirral. we went to leasowe lighthouse, which is really clost to moreton and has family ties for me. they even have their own webcam! you couldn't see us having a picnic, but once val arrived in frank you could at least pick out the cars in the parking lot.

before even getting there i think val and i had already decided that a little walk on the sand whilst the tide was out was in order. it was so lovely to feel sand squidging between my toes and even though the water was really cold, i got in there up to my knees.

sunday davoud and i went to the hope street farmers market and picked up some truly scrumptious goodies - the olive, feta, stuffed vine leaves stand was my fave - for snacking, before throwing the frisbee around a bit in sefton park.

after beginning season 7 of the west wing last weekend, davoud and i decided we could only really stretch it out one more weekend, so we had a glass of whisky during the last episode. it was definitely better than season 5, which stank more than my socks after a long haul flight, and even improved on season 6 for one main reason: it brought the funny.

did you forget to take your awkward pill?
