We've been extra busy this semester as Sonny is in a race to finish his PhD and we are trying to work as much as possible to pad the savings. However, we are still trying to get some fun in so as to not be dull boy (and girl).
Today Lilith and I met up with her sister Layla and her owners Wayne and Jean. It was very funny and slightly unnerving to watch the girls play fetch together. Genetics are quite amazing. They make the exact same noises when excited and play the same game of moving the stick only a centimetre closer when told it's too far away to throw.
We took a break from marking last Sunday and went diving at our local, Enclosure Bay. We ended up spending 90 minutes underwater! We used our twinsets to swim all the way out to the outer reef and played around there. We will have to bring our underwater housing and camera next time as there was lots of fish life, far more than we have seen recently in our Waiheke Dives. Unfortunately, Sonny's dry suit is leaking so he was a bit cold. I was toasty warm the whole time with my 300 gram undergarment.
We were both really hungry that evening. I had some leftover meat sauce from lasagna, but pasta just didn't quite feel like enough. I had been thinking about my mom on Mother's Day, which made me think about taking her out to dinner which made me think about all the delicious Italian eateries in Iron Mountain. That's when I had the idea to recreate some of my favourite meals. I didn't have time to cook prime rib, but steak and spaghetti and salad with Parmesan cheese I could do. Totally decadent but we'd just burned a ton of calories and who needs arteries anyways? Maybe someday I'll attempt a Roman Holiday!
