I ate sushi today. That was a definite highlight. I’d been craving salmon sushi since Wednesday last week, so today while I was child-free after my physio appointment, I snuck into Mitzu and helped myself to the most relaxing lunch I’d had in months (even if it was only for fifteen minutes). If you’re a specifics type of person, this is what I tasted, chewed, swallowed and hopefully digested:
1) Salmon sushi x 2
2) Unagi sushi x 2
3) Prawn parcel x 2
4) Deep-fried prawn sushi x 2
5) Salmon sushi x 2 (yes, that’s right, I went back for more…)
Last year, I used to take Pete along with me to Mitzu on Fridays when Angus was at ‘Play School’ (ie. daycare). He would sit in the high chair munching on his Kruskit (which makes up about 50% of his diet) while I would sip my green tea and savour the taste of salmon and soy sauce in my mouth. It definitely wasn’t as fun without him today but at least there was no floor mess for me to clean up afterwards. Always a plus.
The second highlight of the day occurred at the boys’ dinnertime. Pete had already finished up, so he was in the bath with Rick. Angus, however, was still working on his second course – a piece of crunchy apple. As I bustled around, slowly clearing up the pasta mess that Pete had systematically spread around him (if you escape floor mess at lunch, you’re bound to encounter it at dinner – it’s like some kind of physics law; or if you believe in karma, you might even call it ‘messy karma’), Angus got creative with the apple.
First he took a few bites off and turned it into a star (“Look mummy – star!”). He then decided he would make a moon, and sure enough, after some further bites, a shape that somewhat resembled a half moon emerged (“Mummy – moon!”). He chomped some more, and suddenly he had a “car!” This he drove around on his high chair tray for a bit (“Brrrrrooom, brrrrrooom…!”), before he decided he would turn it into “bottle.”
Such are the moments that make up for messy floors.
As for lowlights, there weren’t any.
But I did snap a few shots of some ‘low lights,’ namely: the red lantern lights while eating at Mitzu, the street traffic lights while waiting outside the local cafe in the evening, our bedroom lamp while stealing a nap before dinner and the pink sunset while driving home during dusk.
A final highlight? I came up with that double entendre all by myself.
