beach walk

D and I went for a walk along the beach out at Eastbourne. I wanted to walk round to the Pencarrow Lighthouse but I was only wearing thin jandals. Rocky beach + jandals = bad combination. It was yet another gorgeous Wellington day. Recently, I've nearly forgotten I live in Wellington and think I'm back in sunny Nelson. It has been an amazing summer.

Life has been a bit crazy lately - with lots of extra hours spent at work. I've been doing a wee bit of baking - but nothing memorable. I never got round to making Easter cupcakes, which is sad because I had some great ideas.

Mum is coming for a visit this week which I am looking forward to. It will be nice to chill out and spend some time with her. D commented today that he was worried about cooking (yes... he does the bulk of the nighttime meal cooking - he loves it, I swear) as my Mum is such an amazing cook. I thought that was lovely (though I'm not 100% convinced that Mum actually lives up to this idol-lic status... Sorry Mummy!).

I made some blue and green cupcakes for D's brother's birthday. they didn't cope with the heat very well (what was I saying about Wellington weather) and the icing melted a bit....
