I hope you had a Happy Birthday KAtie. It’s awful when it’s 40°. It really saps your energy. Our Christmas Day is forecast to be 40°.

I saw this on a Facebook site. I’d thought I’d share it as you may get a chuckle out of it.

I haven’t had jam tart for years Mab. As a kid we often had it.
We had a beef stir fry and rice tonight.

Chookie I was going to download the latest iPhone version !! Now I will not .
I think I’ve changed my body clock - 11am just ate breakfast, doing Xmas decorations to living room and have forgotten about getting dressed as in still in sleepwear . It is hot so that probably why too . DS was so kind last night when we were on the harvester , Mum I forgot to get you a Birthday cake today sorry! I was just nice to be with him . Too hot at 40 to even think of cake . I might have busiest my energy bubble , now I need so energiser batteries. 27 at 8 am . Hope we have power all day . Last night it was on and off a few times.

Yummo Cookie.
Made 22 rye crumpets.
The puff pastry for the sausage rolls, I left to defrost in the fridge overnight. I usually use it straight from the freezer. When baked , the pastry looked different. I found that when  reheating the rolls in the microwave the pastry still remained crisp. Usually it goes soft.

Last Gym for the year today. Then lunch out with Gym girls. Was going to Ballarat Xmas market but have run out of time.
New up grade for car and iPhone. Both created problems. Car fixed easily, phone not.
Marina, film sounds great.

Went to see the movie The Golden Spurtle.  Quite a fun movie about the annual porridge championship - who made the best porridge using a spurtle.  It is set in Carrbridge in the Scottish highlands, so we both giggled at the very familiar antics of the local villagers.

KAtie and Cookie - sounds like you are both going through challenging days just now.  Hope it all settles down very soon.

Thank you all. SIL is having heaps of tests, MRI. And other tests.
My brother said he is starting to get a bit burned by the radiation.

Yes Judy my brother has a son who lives fairly near him..He’s being very good. His other son lives over east and to my opinion very neglectful of his parents. However that is only my opinion.

I made a batch of Spiced Nuts and Cranberries, but they caught a bit and don’t taste the best.
DH and I made a large batch of Bread and Butter cucumbers.  I did a rye SD loaf that’s rising in the fridge and a batch of Parmesan and Rosemary rolls.

I've taken advantage of the hot weather and completely stripped two beds and washed all the linen including the mattress covers and one doona.
