Today its a week since we dropped Katrina at the airport to see her off to London, back to work and also find a new home.  Going on her Aussie passport from here and entering UK on her British one.  It was a lovely month and sorry to see it time go.

A roast leg of lamb with vegetables after a walk from Ramsgate thru Peter Depena Park to Dolls Point.  At the park there were various activities and one was making lamingtons (that's why the blue rubber glove) and of course had to eat it - yum.  The bad weather put off a lot of people and there were not the crowds of last year, even the sausage sizzle finished early.  In the huge tent, various bands played Aussie songs with children dancing and waving their flags.  

This little egg is the first laid by one of the new chooks.  Its about half the size of a normal egg but it was still perfect with three others for an omlette.

My first crop of potatoes - Desiree - grown in old green shopping bag filled with half soil and half compost
worked well and they are delicious.  When these are eaten I will harvest the other three types, also growing in bags.  It was so easy tipping the bags over and the spuds just fell out.  Graham put his in the ground and I think its not only hard work, but the spade can cut the potato.  There are now hundreds of Tommy Toe and Grape toms and added to that are the cucumbers - two types burpless and Serpent.  Serpent can grow over a foot long and are great tasting.

I'm over the wisdom tooth extraction and its healing well.  Was lucky with no complications and no stitches and now can eat without pain.

I've been to have a massage in Pitt Street a couple of times before and I find each time I enjoy it as I did the first time.  After our foot massage and then head a full body, the massage continued in separate rooms for an hour.  It was bliss.  Have booked another time in February.

Here's Katrina, sitting back with feet up and a book enjoying our Aussie weather.  Have been to the movies to see The Skin I Live In and The Ladies on the Sixth Floor, both Spanish movies, one scary and the other funny.  Luckily saw the scary one first but did enjoy both.

It was a lovely day for a ferry ride to Cremorne Point and then past Taronga zoo to Bradleys Head for lunch.
