What have you been doing today?

It's good to be up and running with all my forum friends - it is so frustrating when the forum is down, but I always enjoy it when we are all back together again.

Interviewed a new staff member last evening - it was really a formality and she was a foregone decision, as she is an existing customer and 2 members of our staff knew her well and warmly supported her application.

Planted 2 Blueberry bushes today. Ironing and started packing to go to Tassie on Thursday.

That sounds ideal Marina.

I did the ironing.
Have lots of fun Chookie.

Out to lunch with GFs , a lot of laughter and chatting - poor waitress tried many times to take out order . We always go for a walk looking at the shops . I did a dash after to pick up some very fresh flake for dinner .  Home again in time to cook dinner and fit in all my daily jobs .

Katie, lunch out with friends is always a lot of fun.

I did the ironing this morning and then went to the bedding shop to buy a couple of new pillows.

I did my grocery shopping early this morning as it was 39° today.

Sorting out jars for making things for an annual market ! I keep putting things in a pile for DS to take back to uni . So labeled strawberry jam apricot jam and tomato ketchup all made awhile ago . Now put away in cupboard. Except one of each for DS ( tomato ketchup in fridge ) . I wounder if he will take it all washing powder tissues olive oil , lots of basic things . DS is working hard getting jobs done and no time to pack . I’m already missing him .

I had my hair cut this morning.

We had a massive unexpected storm early this morning. It made it very humid which is unusual for us. So I just pottered around, not completing much.

Left work early to get to Guildford for an early morning delivery tomorrow.  The traffic out of the city was horrendous - a 1 3/4 hour drive took nearer to 2 3/4 hours - I was a walking zombie by the time I got home.

GS and another of our GD came for lunch today.

Glad I did the late run up to the country last night as the delivery came a bit early thi morning, but I would have preferred to leave Melbourne around 6.00 am - way more peaceful (except for kangaroos).

It’s not fun to have contact with a roo when you are driving Marina. We’ve had it happen a couple of times. Once was just south of Carnarvon in broad daylight.

I’m in a nice Hotel in Hobart with my DIL. A 4 day mini holiday. We have been to Mona, exhausting.  The total concept is amazing.
Yesterday we did a cooking course at the Agrarian Kitchen. It’s a world famous cooking school. This is my 4 visit. The class was called Tomato gluttony. It was very much hands on. Each pair made 2 recipes and at the end we all shared what we made, to take home.
Taking a break in the middle, while the recipes were being processed, we had an amazing lunch. Freshly ground flour for a rye SD bread, lamb casserole, salads and a mulberry sweet. Surprises were the Kefir butter and the fresh ricotta.
Before the start of the class, we picked tomatoes from the garden.
Home today.
Marina, I feel for you with that terrible trip out of Melbourne. We had the same experience when last down.

A wonderful experience to share Chookie. It sounds like fun.
