So… the kids went off to take part in the Sydney Ice Rink Xmas Show on Friday and Saturday nights and both of them did very well. The youngest being the better skater had more of a ‘part’ but the eldest was actually on the ice for a longer period so it all balanced out … More The show must go on.
I put forward my suggestion about the gods ‘having a laugh’ at my expense a couple of days back but the extent of this became even more apparent yesterday. To reiterate so of the points, I knew the daughter and family would be coming to stay so made sure I had a full week clear … More Having a laugh.
I always find pain hurts… can’t say I like it. Can’t say I like bad backs either. Thing about a bad back is that you feel 100% otherwise… well I do anyway. The only thing is that when I move I get shooting pains that make me yell out loud. So I don’t move… and … More I'm not too fussy on pain.
Today I thought I would *finally* be able to make some headway with the cleaning in advance of the daughters arrival Weds eve, however yet again fate got in the way. I went to the gym as usual but on the way realised my back was beginning to ache more and more. By the time … More I sort one issue… and lurch to the next.
The software I was looking at, as introduced to me by kyte (see previous post) looks as if it might be the answer to several of my problems, not least the presentation of digital uploads in a form that is ‘secure’ – i.e. watermarked – yet accessible to family and friends! I also want ‘control’ … More Interesting album software!
So out we went. We got up at 6:30 a.m. and moved around like zombies. We’d got to bed really late after watching the Labor landslide that swept the Liberals out of power after 11.5 years so were a little frazzled this morning. Nevertheless we *did* get out… by 8.20 a.m. We’d told the guide … More Nice day – even if tiring.
Took the daughters up to Guides on Friday an got ‘accosted’ at the door by the district leader. She was asking if anyone wanted to volunteer to run a BBQ at the local hardware store to help raise funds for the girls to go to Jamboree next year. Automatically… with no thought about time constraints, … More So this is how it happens?
We got all set up and organised to meet and greet the UK daughter and family on Tuesday morning at 11:30 a.m. or so. Nice to be organised for a change. Then we met up on MS-Messenger… and she let me know that she might have got the date and time a bit wrong. In … More I think it runs in the family!!
So I made Welsh Cakes… after going shopping for ingredients. All I need now is some raspberry jam to spread on the inside of the ‘plain’ ones and we’re away. I hope the Girl Guides appreciate them, but on past experience they just wolf them down without a care about who made them, how long … More Another day all bar gone!
Anyone who fancies making a few… try this recipe. It’s pretty much standard and seems to work! 🙂 WELSH CAKES 8 oz (225g) self raising flour pinch of salt 4 oz (100g) butter/butter 2 oz (50g) castor sugar 2 oz (50g) currants 2 small eggs (or 1 medium egg plus 2 tablespoons of milk) … More Welsh Cakes
