Not much cooking but I did do smoked salmon blinis with fresh dill for NYE . Used the Aldi smoked salmon gravax . Pity I didn’t get more as it is always so nice . Think it’s their Christmas special.

Chookie that’s not great at all . Hope you’re feeling better now . Judy how exciting getting TM7 and a new massage chair . Happy new year everyone. We managed a night away with friends for NYE . Fabulous food and maybe a tad a champagne.. yesterday, day of rest for me . Boys back harvesting, quite a few mishaps ! One being DS locked out of the tractor ! Very strange as he had been in and out heaps . Problem solved. Now we have heaps of oats to be trucked out and no trucks available! Also depo has haltered all deliveries till Wednesday… DH DS are full on problem solving. We will have to store it and move to Wheat . Warming up which is good .

It's good to have the forum up and running again.

Chookie, I'm sorry to hear that you have been unwell.  I hope you recover quickly.

We have had our DS staying with us again over Christmas, he returned to Qld on Wednesday and will be back again in a couple of weeks.

Laundry day today, I changed the linen on all the beds to take advantage of the good weather.

Unlike you to do nothing Chookie so I can imagine how frustrated you would be. You do like to read though so I imagine you're doing a lot of that.

I’ve just ordered the TM7, a surprise Christmas present from my very special DF. I’ve had to revamp my bench space in readiness for the delivery.

Today I was supposed to have delivery of one of those huge you-beaut massage chairs, my Christmas present for myself and others to use. Message received this morning that it won’t be here in S.A. until early next week. I had to get rid of a large lounge suite and change up the lounge and family rooms to fit it in.

A good start to the New Year for me.

DD brought me a lamb and mint sauce pie. They are sold frozen from a vending machine in a small country town. People take their car fridges and get a supply to take home. Lots of different ingredients.
