With Monday being a work-free day for Memorial Day, it was a proper TGIF and a long weekend for us and we used it to unwind.
- On Saturday, we went to a friend's for a small get-together with great food, drinks, and very interesting company.
 |
| When did I last see Vita Malt? Not my favorite, though. |
 |
| Loads of Naija music video including some new finds for me |
 |
| New and old friends, awesome women! |
 |
| The non-Nigerians were engrossed :) |
- On Sunday, we went for a drive up a hill not too far from our place and the view at the top was worth it. Most of the houses in that area had wrap-around windows and you could see why. Then we found the perfect spot to take pictures. Atala has credit for that first pictures at the beginning of this post, I just love it.

| No comment! |

| A street with a view |

| Simple serenity |

| Our city in the distance |
 |
| wheeeeeeeee........ |
 |
| I love swings, I do |
 |
| In touch with my inner child |
- On Monday, we chilled out at home and watched a marathon of the TV show, Revenge . We missed a couple of episodes cos we were out and then decided to watch SVU on the rest of the days. But after the mind-blowing season finale on Revenge, I think we may chuck SVU to second place come next season.

| This is an amazing show, highly recommended. |
And so it's back to the grind again. How did you spend your Memorial Day? And for those in Nigeria, what are your plans for Democracy Day?
