Change of plans

This weekend, I was supposed to go to Canberra - for an amazing dinner tonight with friends and then a conference tomorrow. It seems my body had other ideas - after losing my voice and clearly not shaking whatever bug it is that I've got, my husband and I made the decision to stay at home. Needless to say I am really, really disappointed that we couldn't make the journey. Not being one to wallow in self pity, I did put those thoughts to the side. The positive that emerges from this is that it's the first meal I get to have with my husband this week! That's something to be grateful for, so tonight I cooked an amazing spaghetti bolognese - because it's one of my husband's favourite meals. It has been a great week of cooking - Persian Chicken in a Pomegranate and Walnut sauce served with rice cooked in the Persian style , Moroccan Chicken with a great Couscous and tonight I made Spaghetti Bolognese. I also had the strawberries tonight.

It has been a great evening. A day filled with nothing but rest (and the odd email and tweet) but an evening filled with warmth, a great meal and wonderful company. Am feeling rested. Voice still not returned, but incredibly thankful to be able to spend the evening at home, with my husband.
