The geckos are shedding right now. It's pretty ugly looking, but also kind of fascinating. I'm not daring enough to take a better picture from within the tank, but here's one from through the glass.
Lenny has been doing a Super job getting acquainted with our bread maker. Here's a delicious "peasant" loaf, which lasted about 3 days -- a new record!
After work on Friday night, we headed up to Toronto for Lenny's cousin Steph's birthday party. She always has the most beautiful cakes. You might remember the blue one I posted a picture of from her party last year. Oh, AND, they are Quite delicious.
Approaching Easter time in my family meant hot cross buns. Lenny had never had them before he met me, but I'd never had the Italian pre-Easter treat: zeppole. These things are sinfully delicious. If anyone knows where to get some in London, please do share. I will be forever grateful :D
With cake comes espresso. Ooooooooooooh yeah. :)
Lenny and I were going back and forth as to whether or not "coffee and cake" would be just coffee and cake. We needed to know whether or not to stop for dinner, or just count on there being a lot of snacks to eat for dinner. When we called his mom from the car to settle the dispute her response was so cute and very typical-Italian: "It will be just cake and coffee.... *pause*.... but there will also be snacks so don't eat too much at dinner." lol. Just cake :)
This was the gift we got Steph for her birthday. A beautiful spring like photo box from Winners.
And some spring goodies inside: some spring rain tea lights with holders, a light green pashmina scarf, and some nice smelling Wellington Boot soaps. It was kind of cute how big of a hit the Wellington Boot Soaps were. It's always an awesome feeling to put together a gift that's so well received.
Well that's pretty much a recap of the weekend. After we got back today, I did a lot of spring cleaning like taking the plastic insulation off of the windows and vacuuming the whole first floor with the windows wide open. Thankfully Sally is Exhausted from all of her adventures with Dakota this weekend and has pretty much slept the whole time.
Time to go finish the laundry!
