What have you been doing today?

We have our eldest DS staying with us again for a couple of weeks.  He has been out helping his FIL for two days on the farm so the house has been quiet without him.

Well done Marina.
Mab, l love having family around. GC came for dinner last night. They are such good company. We shared photos of what we have been doing lately. They are always interested in what I’ve been doing and I love hearing what they  get up to.
I sampled the Xmas Puds. ( necessary as I’m giving most away). OMG they are delicious. I added an extra 1 teaspoon of Apple Brandy to each small pud. Served with TMX custard.

Cookie what a treat apple brandy !
Have been to have head MRI this week ! I have to say I was very anxious but all good now . Went  out with DD for dinnner we shared a vodka pasta , then I dropped her off to meet friends. I did a bit of free purchasing ( a lovely opening week of a shop that had giveaways all week) I got a film reel camera- DD gifting it on to her DF . These companies are quite amazing DD got a free pair of jeans and a few other products. It’s turned very cold .

It sure has turned cold.
I’ve been thinking of adding olives to Brazilian puffs. Had a look at Helen Gohs book and she does more than that.
I also love the look of her Passionfruit, white chocolate and macadamia nut cheesecakes. Anything in individual serves is the go for me at the moment.
I’m also enjoying the beautiful photos of villages and mountains that my GD is sending me from Nepal. She and her boyfriend are walking with a local guide through the Himalayan mountains.

I would imagine that the beauty of Nepal is amazing.
Summer seems to be arriving here as it’s beginning to warm up.
DD and I had coffee and looked at shops this morning.

Very cold here today.  DS is feeling very cold after the Qld temperatures he was having.

DD & SIL came to visit today as well as one of our GDs.

Cold and wet.
Tempting fate. I changed wardrobe from winter to summer.
Garden growing like mad. I’m eating, lettuce, onion tops, radish, snow peas and silver beet. Lots of herbs.
My 7 has arrived back at consultants PO.

The light in one of the bedrooms has been out of action for some time so I bought a new one and DS has installed it for us.

After a party out last night an early start this morning to then meet DD to go out for lunch (Oh I’ve been out many nights days - since Wednesday) no wonder Im feeling slightly tired, DH went on the train . Hopefully DD has enough energy to have dinner with me tonight. Tomorrow is bone specialist appointment.
