Keeping Up With KB

Hi all,

Whitesnake and I have been suffering with a rather nasty virus for the past couple of weeks, but it looks like we're finally on the mend.

On Sunday, we enjoyed a delicious meal with my parents to celebrate my Dad's birthday. I was a little dubious about the meal as it was at an Indian restaurant and I wasn't sure how my sore tummy would react to a curry. I ordered a vegetable korma with garlic naan bread and rice and was surprised I managed to eat most of the meal. It was sooooo good. All that food and a glass of wine for $14, excellent! The setting was the beachfront and the company was great.

Some parts of New Zealand have experienced an earthquake and aftershocks this week. Luckily, there hasn't been too much damage and nobody has been killed. I remember when I moved to NZ fifteen years ago, earthquakes weren't a common occurrence, but since the huge quake in Christchurch a few years back, the frequency has increased. I've only experience a short volt a few months ago and that was scary enough. Here's hoping New Zealand settles down again and everyone stays safe.

I LOVE reality TV so I've been enjoying watching The X-Factor NZ style. Jackie Thomas won the X-factor title this week and I'm so happy for her. A talented young lady who appears to be a real sweetheart. Let's hope she stays that way and doesn't fall in with the wrong crowd.

Of course, this week will be remembered for the birth of the royal baby. I'm so pleased the baby is here and healthy. Wonderful news.

I haven't written any articles this week, but I'm looking forward to getting back into it in a couple of days.

Well, I think that's all from me folks. Time to chill out in front of the heater and enjoy the rest of the day with Whitesnake.  Hope you are all well.

Keeping Up With KB

Hi all,

I've been feeling happy and relaxed the past few days.  We've had some beautiful Spring weather, along with a few rainy days.  Whitesnake and I have been making the most of the sunshine by taking a few walks. Nothing like a walk in the sunshine to give mood and energy a boost. We put the clocks forward last weekend so we have an extra hour of daylight to enjoy too.

Enjoyed lunch with Whitesnake and my parents a couple of days ago. They had raved on about a new Indian restaurant and wanted us to try it out. Whitesnake isn't much of a curry lover and I couldn't image eating a curry for lunch, but it was delish. The atmosphere, decor, food and company was amazing. We had curry, a soft drink, rice and naan bread for just $10 each. A bargain.

P.S. We've been back for another curry since I first started writing this post.

P.P.S Whitesnake baked Turkish Bread and Orange Cake yesterday...YUM. I'm so lucky.

Dizzy Blonde

Enjoyed a tasty Indian meal last night with Whitesnake and my parents. Whitesnake told me before we left to meet Mum and Dad, that he wasn't keen on Indian food. Me thinks he still has the same opinion as he ordered extra mild and it still almost blew his head off. My poor babe. We had a fantastic time, the rest of us loved our food, the wine was lovely and the conversation was fantastic.

Whitesnake was telling Dad about our Simply Delish venture on our blog. Dad said, oh yes, I've seen Karen's blog before...Dizzy Blonde. Had quite a giggle over that...DB (which is actually the name of a brand of beer in NZ) doesn't quite have the same ring as KB. I'm still chuckling over it.

Whitesnake and I love watching the show...Who Do You Think You Are. It's a TV show were celebrities research their family trees. I'm really interested in finding out more about my family. I come from English and Italian heritage but I don't know much about the Italian side. I questioned my Dad about the Italian side of the family and learnt heaps more than I had previously remembered. I especially love the fact my Dad has an Uncle Frank who he was warned about. Apparently, he was told not to go anywhere alone with his Uncle as he was "connected"...if you know what I mean. Looking forward to doing a bit of research and finding out more.

Well, that's all from Dizzy today.
