**NOW THAT WAS FUN..........**

I woke up at 6am.......only because hubby woke us on his way to work......& re-emerged from the bedroom at 10am.......I am trying to fit the pieces of last night together........LIKE A BIG FAT DRUNKEN PUZZLE........:)

Oh boy.......did we have fun & I have a severe case of dehydration to prove it!!!!

P & D was so kind in having us over-bet my arse they had no idea what was laying ahead........lol.

We were all in top form & let's not kid ourselves D's vodka cranberries was totally to blame...........I HEART GREY GOOSE !!!You know when you hang with a group of people.........on the very same wavelength & you just feel like you've known each other for ages??!!.........it was like that-ONLY BETTER.......

To be honest I don't recall just how many vodkas I had-who cares anyhoo?!-but it sure as hell made my limbs take on a life of it's own.......I was breaking it down last night.........lmao!!!& some fool has got the pics to prove it........:)

Living in a country which is NOT your home is tough but good friends make it so much more live-able*........& effen FUN!!!!

MODERN TOILET-TAIWAN

So I'm sat down watching DISCOVERY-TRAVEL & LIVING when this restaurant is being reviewed.

I was both intrigued & appalled........& just a bit grossed out!!!

Situated in Taipei-Taiwan.......set in three storeys where everything resembles a toilet/loo........even some of the food dishes looks like they BELONG in a toilet bowl!!

So seriously-would you like to taste ice cream shaped like faeces??!!......


ps:Putting this on my list of things to do.........SERIOUSLY!!

**FRIDAY JIGG**

Gooooooooooooooooooood morning everyone!!!!

I just had a big bowl of oatmeal & a glass of OJ........what a way to jumpstart the day?!

As I'm still awaiting my new drivers licence I am *punished* to another day stuck in the house.......don't get me wrong-I love it-just I tend to reach for the cookie jar every 5minutes........wreaking havoc with my waistline.........lol!!

Later this evening I'm hooking up with some friends for snax & drinks........Lord knows where the night will take us??!!.......:)

Tomorrow is yet undetermined.....& Sunday we are hanging out with the golf crowd-having a dutch feast,imported beer & silly jokes about balls & holes.............!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY to you.........drink up & be merry!!

**I LOVE SMOOTHIES**

To make the ultimate smoothie I suggest you always used FRESH VEG/FRUITS!

BERRY BLAST:
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 cup of blueberries
1/2 peaches
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup of plain yoghurt & *skim milk-mixed
3tsp brown sugar
1 large banana


Mix well in blender.
Instead of water use ice cubes(fruits can be frozen beforehand to thicken the smoothie)
Serve immediately.



5 MINUTE BERRY ICE CREAM:

4 cups of mixed fruit-eg,strawberries,pineapple,orange,blueberries,etc
1 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Chop fruit in blender/processor into tiny pieces
Add milk,sugar & vanilla extract.
Serve appx 6

*For a richer ice cream-use heavy cream in lieu of milk.

**BUSY MORN......**

Just back from a quick run to LANKA HOSPITAL-very clean,efficient & friendly.

Call me paranoid but after my mate was diagnosed with DENGUE in a space of days- I am leaving nowt to chance......so I dragged the kid to hospital at 9am......'twas not very pleased but probably very grateful deep deep inside........:)-to have such a warm caring Mom!!!

Anyhoo after peeing in a cup & losing a few drops of blood-we were good to go........most probably a viral infection but waiting anxiously for the all clear later this evening.......

Take care of yourselves & stay healthy

**LAST NITE........**

So I made a boo boo last night-ended up devouring middle eastern food instead of the mediteranean dishes I was salivating over........I had the usual ROGAN JOSH,WILD CRAB CURRY,NAAN BREAD,etc.........I totally lost the plot when we came to desert.......lol!!

I met up with my new landlord D who's a lovely lady-I will try NOT to corrupt her too much.......*wink,Sarrah & Armil.....we chatted seamlessly about everything & nothing.

I was actually in top form last night -had only the one mojito........(remind me to never do that again:)

The four of us had a pleasant evening but when Armil excused himself for a minute we had this *fool approach the table insisting that he knows me from somewhere??!!........please-does that trick even work??-cause not one of us recognised the old geezer.......eeeuuuuuuwwwwwwww!!!

Anyhoo on a more serious note I just wanna send some positive vibes & prayers to my mate A who is in hospital suffering from dengue.......

Love you gurl!!

xoxoxo

**HAPPY HUMP DAY**

GOOD MORNING WORLD!!!!...........*big fat smile*

I feel super refreshed after a loooooooong goodnights rest.Snuggled up with her hubby last night watching CSI-MIAMI.......well hardly watching as we were too busy taking the piss of HORATIO CRAINE........what a nutjob character......??!!!

I mean seriously-what's with the look.......and the sun......and the glasses.......it's all too bright makes me wanna reach for my sunnies.......pmsl

Anyhoo hubby summed it perfectly when he said *that lab is so flashy/neonlit it looks more like a meth lab*.........I nearly fell outta bed at that comment........hahahahaha

Right so today I'm meeting a friend for lunch at BAREFOOT-one of my fave restos on the island.......generous portions & lovely smoothies :)

Actually today is ALL about the girlfriends & eating......off to HILTON tonight to feast on mediteranean food -yum yum
