I just googled nanaimo bars because I have no idea what they are. Jaysus, they look delicious!!!! You lucky Canadians (and MrsR because she lives close to a Canadian)!!!

You can make them!  :) And spread Hoser love.  ;D

Yay for Hoser love!!  [smiley=smitten.gif]

Had a lovely evening out last night, my mister & me together with MLG & hubby for a meal out at a new restaurant that just opened near them.  ;D

And MLG surprised my husband with a very early birthday pressie of many Nanaimos tucked inside a lovely cake tin. Yes sirree, I'll be keeping those somewhere safe for him until his birthday...om nom nom nom nom...um, what Nanaimos?  ;)

Living close enough to restaurants and shops that we can walk. I think I say that to my husband every time we walk home from a meal out.

Job interview at Lonely Planet tomorrow!!!!!!   ;D ;D ;D

It's by phone so I don't need to get all dolled up or anything!  :)  Just make sure I don't have croaky morning voice or sniffles.  :)  

Sooooooooo happy!  I've been getting really frustrated not even hearing back from jobs I apply for!  :(  This is great!  :)

I've travelled loads (nearly two years in Europe and all over the US on roadtrips) so Lonely Planet is perfect for me, I think.  :)  I'm pretty darn excited right now.   ;D

 [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

(just wish it would have come a few days earlier so I could mention it when my BIL and SIL asked me how the job hunt was going  ::)  )

Of course, they're gone!  ;D  But *I* didn't eat them all for him - he took them & shared at work.  :)

I've had lots of happiness the past couple weeks - starting with the meal out with MLG & hubby a couple weeks ago.

Then Friday afternoon, I met Andee for coffee and a catchup at her house.  :)

Followed by Friday night - Light Night 2013 out in Leeds city centre with my mister, HME & her hubby.  :)

Today, I met BostonDiner in town where she treated me to a belated birthday lunch at the Tiled Hall Cafe, and then we had a wander around town - doing a bit of shopping.  :)

So feeling the friend love lately!!  [smiley=smitten.gif]

Good!

BTW, forgot to mention I'm reading Louise Penny's How the Light Gets In and she mentions  in her Acknowledgements she contacted Cohen for permission to quote from "Anthem" and he completely waived the fee.  Nice guy!
