Happy Long Weekend!

Hope you survived the long weekend that was long.

I hate Easter..with a passion. So, glad that it is over for another year. Now that the kids are getting a older, it is getting easier to downplay the whole thing.

Poor manpet had to spend a little too much family quality time together, with the playstation network down for the last 4 days. To think of all the poor partners stuck with game withdrawn men (and women I guess too) all over the world this long weekend. Wonder if murder rates are up?

Poor ANZAC Day tucked in on the end, stupid bunny and chocolate stealing it’s thunder. Is it just me, or it is just a little tacky to “celebrate” it, and greet each other with Happy ANZAC Day?

I have nothing against ANZAC Day, all though it does seem to have it in for me. Every year, without fail around this time I get sick with asthma and related stuff. I remember watching the ANZAC march quite a few times from hospital as a kid. Thankfully, it isn’t as bad these days. Usually just a chest infection, sometimes pneumonia, and one time some pleurisy. Just really weird that it is like clock work every year?

Eric showing off pretty well what we got up to this weekend. Caught up on some movie and TV downloads…and lots of naps.

New Cadbury Mousse Chocolate

So delicious it’s best kept hidden… Gee, thanks for telling me that NOW Cadbury, you could have put that warning on the packaging as well. A bit late after I have gone to eat the last of my block that I’d saved for after dinner, and the manpet has eaten it all!!

I spotted this new chocolate in Big W the other day, on special and being a sucker for anything new I had to grab some. We tried the Chocolate and Caramel, but it also comes in Hazelnut.

So, what’s it like? It’s bloody awesome!! I have a bit of a texture issue, I am not overly keen on most chocolates with a filling. But the mousse is just right, to too hard or too squishy.

But the best part, is the piece size. You can pretend to be good and just eat 2 bits ;)
