Chit Chat / Re: Oops........................................... photos

Here I am with another oops. I made some shortcrust pastry for last night’s quiche. When I’d finished it I thought that it looked a bit dry so added some more water. Popped it into the fridge to rest. When I was rolling it out it seemed dry. I finished the quiche and cooked it. YUK. I hadn’t put very much water in at all. It was crumbly and tasted horrid. I later realised that I had spilled the water container, not put it into the thermomix bowl.
I must be more careful. Some lovely butter wasted and the quiche is hardly edible. The pastry looked reasonable but certainly wasn’t.
Oh well. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Today was the day to pick up the Suzuki. It’s automatic so I have to remember not to try putting the clutch in. I plan to go and sit in it and play tomorrow. It’s not as smooth as my Hilux was. It has more gadgets but not a lot as it’s not a special car. It has lane departure and a few other things I will soon discover. It’s so tiny after the Hilux.

We went to the dentist this morning. I suggested to DH that we go to the Suzuki dealers to see what the delay was on a new Suzuki for towing behind the motorhome. We sort of bought one. They had exactly what we wanted so bought it. It should be licensed etc ready for me by the end of the week. DH spent the afternoon polishing and detailing mt lovely red terror as it will be going.

I went up to the Westfield this morning to sort out if my RAC membership will still entitle me to roadside assist with the motorhome. Fortunately it does. There are only a couple of places you can I sure it as it’s so big.

I’m itching to go somewhere but DH is adamant that it must be carpeted first (to protect the floor) and the cupboards lined with the non slide stuff (he’s correct). It’s also school holidays here. We will go away for only 2 or 3 nights at a time. Just u til we learn to manage everything. It’s all wifi and we have to learn to do it.

Dinner tonight is quiche and veggies.

We’re having a Chicken and Noodle stir fry. I’m making quick things as we have had a few friends drop round to see the new acquisition. These friends have a gorgeous little Fiat. So we invited it over to meet our big Fiat.

Big excitement here, we picked up our motorhome. To be known as The Shed because it is so big. DH drove it home and just before we left the dealer he dropped the GPS tracker that goes in it. One of the wonderful men there put it back together and it seems to be working fine. We now have it behind the gates.
When we have bought a caravan from these people we usually got a cap each. This time we were given all the water hoses you need for the MH. All the attachments for the hoses. Also an Acacia wood cheese board with cheese knives, two stubby holders and 2 dark blue Jayco tea towels. I don’t think they will dry much but who cares.
We forgot the MH has 2 tvs. One for watching in bed and one for in the dining area. We are feeling very spoilt and luxurious.

We’re having pie from the freezer, with a creamed spinach in a cheese pastry thing.

That’s not good for business cookie, I would be appalled too. Is she the owner of the business or one of the staff, I’d be mentioning it to the owner if it’s the latter.
You are right Judy. I don’t know who owns the business. It is one of a group and seems to have different people each time I go. It’s at the local shopping centre and only employs 1 or 2 people.
