Marina, yes Jilly is the Bagpiper.
DD booked us into a Motel in Melbourne near the Uni where GD is graduating . We arrived late after Dinner. It was the awful. Broken furniture in the parking area. No one on duty and the rooms are hard to describe. We couldn’t stay as it didn’t feel safe as well as dirty.
We finally found a Novotel nearby. Completely different. Even though that first hotel was in such a state, it was well booked as the car park was full. We think they were tradies working on the Tunnel nearby. This was certainly a first for me.

Chookie, is that GD the bagpiper graduating?  Botany would be a great degree.

Dentist this morning - hygienist - lots of new toys in her room to play with!

Finally found a good recipe for cheese biscuits. I took some to neighbours afternoon tea for a taste test. They gave them thumbs up .Perfect to make in TMX. Will post.   Portuguese Tarts still the most popular. Local bakery makes bit size cream puffs. Everyone raves about them. I don’t like them as the shell is soft. They have requested I bring some of mine to next event. Probably New Year’s Eve party.

Butternut, capsicum and potato in a puff pastry plait (except I didn't do the plait part - too fiddly for me) and my usual standby when the freezer is getting low - vege stew.  Also roasted up load of stray veges that were lurking around the house.

I made a loaf of Thermomumma’s white bread for DH and a Classic loaf.
I managed to get them out of the oven just before we had a massive storm hit. DD and I both yelled everytime the thunder was right over head. It’s ok a little bit away but when it booms over the house I yell. 😀😀😀😀
We were lucky and had very little wind.

I caught up on the ironing this morning. There always seems to be heaps after a break away.
