First crop

Don't they look delicious. I'm always amazed when I pick them and then taste the difference between bought and home grown. The fruit fly is about and hope they don't ruin too many fruit.

The finished product was posted on Thursday and I hope that it not only fits but Lucy likes it too.

Merry Christmas

We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and you have health and happiness in 2011.

Success

I sat through the google video many, many times but in the end the result was a pieced together puzzle ring. Now I have broken it a few times and put it together without the video and just hope I remember how to do it.

It was a gardening weekend for both of us. John attacked the hydrangers down the side of the house as they were taking over the pathway, while I spent time in the vegie patch. This year the raspberries have come on well and enough of them to take to the kitchen and have for sweets. John had cream (for the first time in months) on the raspberries, I like them just plain. Some of the tomatoes are ready for picking and ripening up. Its still a battle with the birds and snails over the strawberries. The pumpkin has gone berserk and the cucumbers are only pencil thin. Ruhbarb is plentiful and will need to be repotted when its a bit cooler.

This past week

Have had a hard time with Skype and could see and hear but my microphone did not work after the update. Katrina patietly sat while I fiddled and now its OK. Thank you.
We had yum cha in Chinatown with the walking group and got to try quite a few items we've never had before. A good couple of hours of chat and laughs.
Met some of the ladies up at the Catholic Club at Hurstville and thats the last time I'm going to the shopping centre before Christmas. BUSY is not the word but chaotic for parking.
I've seen two movies at the Dendy - Fair Game with Naomi Watts and Love and Other Drugs with Anne Hathaway. Both were entertaining and enjoyable. It was unusual to see lots of children at the Dendy - it was to see one of the Narnia movies.
Google seems to have the answer to every question and am now going to find how to put together my puzzle ring.

Culburra

There was a lot to do at the house but as it was overcast all but one day, the jobs got done. The one good afternoon we enjoyed walking on the beach and feeling the sun's warmth. There has been a great job done by council to regenerate the grassy area at the beach in preparation of conserving the sand (you can see it behind me). There were only a couple of other people to share lovely the beach.
