Planning!

I am off to see my girl and my sister and her family! SH and I had planned a trip for last October and even though the $ would be better off in the bank I am using them as intended and doing the trip we had planned. Lots of planning involved but it is all starting to come together....

A basket of herbs.

I feel like I am starting to get somewhat organised in the kitchen now. Last weekend I picked up pots of coriander, basil, parsley and mint which look lovely in a basket in my kitchen. Now that I am using my Thermomix I am using a lot more of the fresh ingredients. Also managed an orange cake and a cuppa or two! Wonder what I achieve tomorrow ?

Clinkers slice!

Happy

Lucky

How lucky is the 'horsey' one? At the very last minute she was asked to join a school trip for this half term as someone had pulled out. All expenses paid! Means she is currently skiing in Bulgaria for a week ! She will have a lifetime of memories from these two years. Let's hope she stays safe as she has never done any snow sports before! Lucky I took that out on her insurance!

Five years

It is nice to be acknowledged. I attended a morning tea on Friday at the school where I work in the boarding house to receive the first of my long service awards. Five years is acknowledged with half a dozen school wine glasses. Stable staff in the boarding house make a big difference, can't see myself leaving anytime soon so may even make a ten year award!

Circus time

My morning routine, walking the 3 hounds, a little like a circus! Since the New Year they are now 'outside' dogs which is working well but I feel so guilty that I make sure I walk them at least once a day. Added bonus is that it means I am active too!!
