Flower confession time
I have to admit it… I have a strange flower fetish. It’s to do with bunches of flowers… I cannot leave them mixed. Our Small Town only offers mixed bunches of flowers – either lilies-and-gerberas or native-banksias-and-waratahs – which I…
World Weather Watch – August 5
Have I mentioned how dry it is here? Yes? Oh that’s right…. I did that already! Our few lonely clouds just cannot get their act together to precipitate. Outlook for today (Wednesday August 5): Temperature: 5-25 degrees Celsius (not bad)…
Done and dusted…
You know how bushies (and farmers) always complain about the weather? It’s all: ‘When’s it gonna rain?’ And there’s ‘bin nothin’ in the gauge this month’… How it’s too dry! Well honey… Colour me red and dusty and whingy! For…

Kitchen help…
So, I made some mud-cake muffins…Can you tell who helped clean the bowl and beaters? Don’t be fooled… he did too!!Just washed evidence from his mug pre-photo(not that he poses… much!)NB The scratch is Axel-induced. Silly pooch thinks my kids…

Also titled BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. Remember how I promised to try out a BB’S WORLD WEATHER WATCH? And I thought WEDNESDAY would be a great day for it… ‘Cause I am right into alliteration. Yeah… not Wednesday anymore (not…
