The biggest high of the weekend was the temperature on Sunday - 25°C (77°F) on 3rd October! Yay. Stretching out that summer feeling one last time maybe. We had all the doors and windows open, lunch in the garden and a bike ride.
And we visited our local icecream parlour (on its last open day until spring 2011). Luca played football with a group of school friends, with his shirt off. This is October in NL - it can't last surely?
Huzz and I enjoyed watching, again, Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges. Fab film. Love the music. Mr Bridges was the perfect actor for the role. If you haven't seen it - you should.
I picked up a couple of Sinterklass, birthday (Luca) or Christmas pressies in a great sale on Saturday. Yes, I know its a bit early, but I couldn't resist. With 3 big celebrations within 3 weeks (2 on the same day) I like to start hoarding early.
And a bit of domestic stuff (clearing out cupboards, cleaning the fridge, vacuuming the car and gardening too) it was all quite satisfying.
And, how was your weekend? Hope you had a good one.
Good idea on starting "hoarding" presents early. I set that goal each year, and then it's December 20 and I haven't even started. Good job, Victoria!
ReplyDeleteSame weather here in my areas (the Rockies, US). Holding on to summer for as long as I can :-)
We've been curious about this film. Is it super sad? I can't do sad films. Not sure why... I'm sure I could use therapy about this. ;)

ReplyDeleteI wrote something about being all for gentle autumn and winter seasons!
We sat outside too. It was glorious! Even sneaked a glass of wine.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Crazy Heart yet - thanks for reminding me that it's on my list. I have started Christmas shopping. I can't help myself. I just hate going to the shops in December...
ReplyDeleteI also loved Crazy Heart! Jeff Bridges is so amazing, really a great movie!
ReplyDeleteOOh - I NEED to see this. It's been on my list for a while. I hadn't seen this trailer. Now I'm even more excited.
