Rang Miele yesterday. Re packaging and sending ovens on Friday.  Should have the next week. Can’t wait.

The Ratatouille Lasagna was apparently a great success. The ricotta layer was very good.  300 g + ricotta, 1 very large egg, Parmesan cheese and lots of black pepper  . I also added 3/4 teaspoon of chilli flakes to the Ratatouille.

K Atie , replacing wall ovens that are probably 20 years old.  As they are the same brand, ( Miele) as those that are coming out so it should be easy.  I am also having a warming drawer.  We have to remove a drawer to fit this in.  I’m replacing the Microwave with a microwave combi oven which I can use as , microwave, convection oven or a combination of both.  As well as a steam oven.  Also separate or combined functions.

I was forced to do some rabbit sitting this morning. DH went outside about 8am and there was a cute little rabbit. He picked it up and we did a bit of door knocking to see if anyone owned it. I also rang the ranger but he wasn’t interested. I eventually resorted to the local Facebook chat. Fortunately a couple of ladies on there helped me and I was able to message the owner. She rang me and her parents came to pick up the rabbit.
He was gorgeous, until I discovered him chewing the spine of one of my new books. He loved being cuddled (of course I obliged) and he enjoyed eating green foods.

Very cute, Cookie.  You were lucky that you found the owner.

I honestly don’t know what we would have done if we didn’t find the rabbit owner.
Chookie have fun w or new ovens. It’s very exciting.

Local FB groups are great for that sort of thing cookie, in the meantime you were able to spend special time with the rabbit.  We have a local giveaway site plus one for plants, great for when we have clean outs and you get to meet the lovely locals.

I have the grand-dogs again as the kids have gone away for the school holidays. They’re very demanding of my time, especially my lap and their daily walks. Consequently I’m not getting much done and can’t even have a shower without them wanting to be close to me.

Gorgeous dogs Judy. I had a chuckle about the shower,
We went out in the old ute this morning for a coffee run. Lovely to sit and chat for a while. Many of the people that come on this run are from the Vintage Car club and a few of us from the Model A club.

They are gorgeous, Judy.  How long do you have them for this time?
