1. Starting each day with a big cup of coffee!
2. Having extra time to make a warm breakfast in the morning.
3. Finding a winning rice paper roll / sushi combination for lunch.
4. Heading out in the sun for a training ride.
5. Being able to train along some gorgeous country roads.
With wonderful country views.
6. Being able to check out our new house lights…
And new garage door ;)
7. Spending a rainy Sunday afternoon watching DVDs.
8. Creating a new salad recipe!
A tamari rice salad!
Fresh and healthy – and full of flavour.

ReplyDeleteGlad you found the sun, I just got all wet!
That rice recipe looks good. I'm going to try it tomorrow for a pot luck.
ReplyDeletesounds like a fabulous saturday :)
ReplyDeleteHaving two lovely coffee catchups with friends, which absolutely drove the blues away for a little while at least.
ReplyDeleteI love how creamy your oats look - and are those chia seeds sprinkled on top? I always cook them in, wow!
aren't weekends the best?!!! I wish we had 4 days weekends and 3 day work weeks.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Weekends rock! Enjoy the rest of yours! :)
ReplyDeleteyour brekkie looks delish! i ♥ weekends and sleeping in!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE having time to savor my coffee and read blogs in the morning. Thank God for the weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh weekends are so blissful!
ReplyDeleteThe house is looking great.
Sounds like a great day! The routes where you live are SO beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHiglight of my weekend was my breakfast this morning- a Chocolaty Green Monster :D
I love weekend breakfast- I always use our wedding plates, even if it's just the same coffee and oats/yoghurt as I eat during the week.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd never want to get on a bike again, but your pics make me want to ride RIGHT NOW :)
Ahhh I love weekends! I love being able to relax and enjoy breakfast + tea :)
ReplyDeleteCoffee is definitely the thing that gets me out of bed most mornings. The highlight of my weekends is spending time with my husband and dog. We don't see each other much during the week, so the weekends mean a lot to us.
ReplyDeleteLots of yummy eats. I am definitely going to make that salad ASAP. Looks so yummy. Love the countryside photos - you're so lucky to have somewhere nice and flat and relatively traffic free to ride. I can't transport my bike so I'm stuck riding in the 'burbs with the traffic - which is why I don't do it very often :-(.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I are headed to Canberra in a couple of weeks. We're going to some homemade markets I want to visit but do you have any other suggestions of things to do. We've been plenty of times but I don't think ever without the girls :-).

I love weekends cause I love to sleep in! That salad looks delicious, also that sushi looks really good. where did you get it from??
ReplyDeleteYet again you make something that I feel compelled to add to my list for the week! This will be great for lunches during the week too.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... my weekend was spent at the hospital with my husband. Man & dog& powertool was not a good mix.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous weekend filled with some good eats.
