Der Brucer and I have at long last had a "weekend," over the last couple of days. Very relaxing, very much what we've needed for a while, and very errant and truant but so what.
Thursday we lad-sat during the day. I wrote about that yesterday. We also got hold of a stack of DVDs on our way home. Also wrote about that.
What I didn't write about was our heading over to a favorite restaurant, Cafe Zeus, instead of going right home. We had very nice chats with people we haven't seen for a while, and very nice chats with people we hadn't met before. We also had a couple of drinks, and came home very relaxed. I made some mushroom gravy for the mashed taters, and reheated some leg of lamb and roasted beats, which made for a nice dinner. And then we crashed.
We got going fairly late on Friday, but had errands to run. Among other things, we went downtown to check on another restaurant, in case der B wants to dine there for his birthday. (His traditional birthday dinner is either duck or leg of lamb. Mine is...whatever tastes good!) It was fun, getting down there and almost being tourists.
Home again in time for Tiger Cruise, which as I stated before was very good. I thought it clever how Panni got a lot of the exposition out of the way while everyone was flying to Hawaii. Also, the Arizona sequence was well written, a taste of foreshadowing without diminishing what Pearl Harbor meant in it's own right. How the current tragedy was handled, with the reality of death, was subdued yet realistic. All and all, a satisfying film, one to be proud of for everyone involved.
Time to start cleaning up for work, my "weekend" is over.
