This afternoon will be spent cleaning the dust and bugs from the car and my bike.

That is a bugger of a job.

Beautiful day here today - spring at last! Caught up with friends this morning, took them some morning tea. Then after lunch the girls & I went for a bike ride to a playground a couple of suburbs away - our favourite thing to do when weather is fine. Caught up on some housework, a bit of cooking, and now I'm menu planning for next week - as always, looking on here for inspiration!

Today I have started another batch of sugar fermenting to make pure alcohol. Last weeks effort was a geat success and I distilled about 7 litres from 6 kilos of sugar in 20  litres of water. It came in at between 70% and 85 % so I watered it down to 40%.

Now the blending SueJen!

Good gertie

Sending you a big hug from me Maddy. You got through it, sounds like the big girl pants worked.
Yes, Gert has many personalities today. Hmmm. Is there more than one of our dear Gerts???:)

Might make some vanilla essence. It is all for drinking DJ. I make my own White Spirits. Gin, Bacardi and Vodka. Sometimes  Lmoncello or a liquor. Works out at about $5 to $ 6 a litre. It is not difficult and can be fun but I like to make a lots at once as have to have all the stuff set up in the garage and I don't like to do,that often. Also it will be getting too hot soon.

Maddy every family has at least one thorn  :o

I have been having a bad time with one here too.

So sad as I opened my home to her for 6 months and she literally has tried to take over my kids, grandkids and even my neighbors.

Too long a story to tell but she has made my life a misery for 18 months now.She is my SIL and my DH so angry with her.  :(

Bugger of a job. LOL was the pun intended?   ;D

All finished now. I used the pressure washer and a good car cleaning detergent. It wasn't too bad.

That is sad MF.  Sometimes you just have to cut 'em loose . Call me hard hearted Hannah but  I don't need negativity and  depressing people in my life.  I hae never regretted leaving my family behind nearly 50 years ago. They are still,"at it ".
