Funny, I never even noticed that before. :lol: It was a pretty drab day when we were there. The young lady behind us on the bus overheard me saying that it looked nothing like the huge expanse of golden sand they film for TV. (It's Bondi beach) It wasn't even that big of an area, I was under...

:welcome Sewing and cooking, activities that I have tried, and decided I would best stay away from. You have a talent. :lol: When we lived in the city, my family was the first private home in Adelaide to get solar panels, in late 2000. Very interesting. Despite the government rebates, it costs...

I am an Australian, if anyone is still interested. I live in the city. Oh there go the darn chickens again, drinking from the drain tub. They have water in their run. I suppose it's like going on holiday, water in some exciting foreign country tastes better than water at home. :lau

Who likes the beach? This was okay. It's from Sydney, where I was recently (yeah, it's that trip I was going on about a few pages back).

Well hello folks! Long time no post, I know. Not much has happened at all round here. The chickens, as usual, have been crapping all over the patio area, and I've been going at it with a spade. The grass is beginning to grow back. The weather has been unusually warm lately, which I can't say I...

SSD: Sounds very cool. I'd love to see that one day, but nothing lives in our city river besides carp, and the fishing peeps feed those to the pelicans. It's not a very nice river, although the surrounding parks are pretty decent. I ignorantly never imagined that the salmon would actually jump...

Having chillin' time today, nothing on, no plans, nothing that needs doing. Whew! I saw Salmon Fishing in the Yemen the other day. Have any of the rest of you seen it? It was fantastic! The beginning was actually pretty funny, and at the end, when the salmon were alive, that was too cute. "I'll...

I'm going to make fairy bread again tomorrow. I hope this time I can get it done in relatively quick time. :P

Hi everyone! I haven't updated here for ages. I'll just post to give you an idea of the extent of my crappy kitchen skills. This morning, I pretty much went crazy trying to make a small batch of fairy bread. That's just margarine and hundreds and thousands! Several rounds of wrong ingredients...

I haven't been here in a while! I've been busy, and besides this rut nothing particularly interesting has happened down my way. :frow

Will get to have sushi tonight. :drool

Today, I had a lazy day of not doing much. Did a bit of work in the morning. Spent rest of day going on internet and drawing some strange stuff. Waiting for April, still!!

OK, I'll try to take that advice. :gig I do sort of bake biscuits in a very lax manner though, I gave up using spoons or balances ages ago, and pretty much just poured the flour, sugar and milk out of their tins and bottles in a haphazard fashion. :lol: Will have to give bread another shot some...

:yuckyuck Was talking to the chickens the other day, and one of them leapt up to peck at a small mark on my face. That was painful.

Never actually baked bread myself. I'm scared to try after what happened the last time I tried to make a sponge cake. :lol: Anything of mine that goes in the oven and is meant to come out "soft and light"... :hide

;) I bet it isn't. Even baking cookies usually costs quite a bit. Cookies and dry rice pudding are pretty much all I can handle. :lol: I really need to work on my rice pudding.

:hugs Glad to hear you're on the mend. Now I suppose I know a bit more of your story! I'm going to go to bed now, before I collapse here at my laptop. Good night! :frow

I don't know the background story, but I'm guessing the doctor's visit was good news! It's always good getting a few more minutes into every day, anyhow. I seem to be in a perpetual state of rushing somewhere. :lol:

Perhaps we could convince him, just for April Fool's. :lol:

Beautiful pictures, especially the lake. It's so green. 'Most everything is brown round these parts at the moment. Getting pictures onto the computer, that's always going to come in handy. I'm still yet to work it out for the mobile phone, or anything other than a camera. (There are so many...
