Poor Kenya, Poor fish

Oh dear, couple of things, first of all, Kenya has broken her little finger playing Volley ball at school yesterday, luckily its on her left hand so all good to write, it was all bruised & swollen & very sore, saw the Dr today & he said it wasnt too bad so got it straped up, I remember you doing something similar too sis!!!

 

Next we woke up to the fish looking rather poorly, about an hour later he was a floater, poor fish gone to fishy heaven, wont put a picture of that on to view, RIP, Bubbles.

Emerson's prized tomato, he has been waiting for them to rippen for a week or two & finally today one did although it could have been a bit redder but nevermind, he put garlic home grown basil, chives, parsley, olive oil & cooked it in the oven for about 20mins & hey presto, very tasty it was too, well done Emo..

The Good Life!!

Have been out in the garden today taking photo's of our veggies, they are coming along really nicely, the tomatos I took a couple of weeks ago & are now turning red, have used some for fetta & cherry tomato muffins, very nice they were too, the sweetcorns are very impressive, we have loads.

Long weekend in Brisbane

Hello, well, here I am back from our few days away, had a fab time but shame about the weather it rained most of the time, Queensland weather is supposed to be hot hot hot!! luckily the bride & groom had a contingency plan out of the park & in under the shelter of the balcony in the reception room, not ideal but better then getting wet, so that was ok, Deidre looked absolutely amazing "greek Goddess" comes to mind & the day went off without any hitches, great fun had

Waiting to go, the gorgeous bride...

Well its tuesday night again & have got back from pottery, had a tragic disaster, made a wall hanging which had to be fired in a special way because of the colours I wanted, when I came back the first time I didn't like the colour, too green, so back in it went & when it came out the second time it was exquisite, copper's dark reds & in places it looked like oil & water mixed together, it was a long process but finally I loved it, took my pottery box from the car & at the time I did think to myself dont hold it by the handle in case it drops, well I did hold it by the handle just while I closed the car door, handle broke, box dropped on floor & gorgeous piece smashed into 4 pieces, I should have listened to my innerself...GRRRRRRRRRRRR, not happy. Having a glass of wine to commiserate!

On a happier note, I did get a nice Indian wall hanging from north rocks trash & treasure on sunday which I am going to make into a floor cushion for my hut which incidentally is nearly up!! all I have to do is back it will fabric & fill with stuffing, oh just another project for my lovely list, I have ticked a couple of things off list so thats good.

See you soon x

Too many projects, so little time

Well its saturday again today, where has this week gone, not much of a sleep in today as I got ejected from my bed about midnight from Emerson snoring & Milli spread out across the middle, I went into Milli's bed & had the sun streaming in through the window about 7ish & couldnt get back to sleep, i must fix that up no wonder she's always the first one up!!

 I have so many projects I want to do, I have a lovely list!!one of them being the Cath Kidston bag that came with the book that my dear friend Jo bought me, 'just because" we often buy each other little gifts, junk shop finds etc, as we are so much alike. Hope its not too hard to do it's so sweet hope to get on with it soon, but there's also christmas pressies I want to make  & havn't started yet, I really must pull my finger out!!

Really hot then we had a massive storm!! did clear the air though, wish it would stay dry long enough for my hut to be completed!! it has rained spiradically for about 2 weeks. whinge, whinge, whinge!! Black hawk helicopters still flying overhead, when I was in the school playground waiting for the girls they were so low you could almost see the faces of the pilots!! practising for rememberance day tomorrow.

Had a lovely time at the jewellery party, all gorgeous chunky stuff, bought myself a cuff & it was only $25 bargain, have booked my own party for the 3rd Dec hoping everyone will buy some christmas pressies!! On sunday Jo Liz & myself all went to Fran's for a garden sale, it wasnt very busy but it was great because we ended up buying all each others stuff, made about $60 & spent about $30, followed by a bbq for lunch, the weather was hot & sunny so great fun had by all.

I have just got back from my pottery class & these are my latest masterpiece's a sculpture for the garden & my goldilock's bowls!!

Tonight I am going to my friend Suzanne's jewellery party, hope there's lots of weird & wonderful's to buy, better get on with my christmas shopping, cant believe we are nearly there.
