took the boy for his checkup
& said goodbye to his specs!
drove down the road
& had melbourne’s best brew
sent the boys off to the tennis
& spent the night on the lounge
thought lots about being a wife
& what that really means
wondered about another time & place
& if in fact the grass was greener
cross stitched the monograms
& sent them out to the crew
drank lemon, lime & bitters
& taught the little guy to make them
went to the market
& bought lots of fresh & green
spent time in the kitchen
& prepared for a new school year
went out for japanese
& had a great time
watched the little guy & his mates
& caught up with the school crew
climbed the 1000 steps with the boy
& allowed myself to be pushed by my pride
saved an orphaned possum
& pottered around at Camby market

I scored a Decor Dairyo at the op shop a few weeks back. It was still in the box & came with a thermometer & a lovely note from the tennis club congratulating me on my raffle win!

I had a couple of fails because once I located the original Dairyo instruction manual online I only read the words “shortcut for next day yoghurt”. Surely by now I’d have figured out that the go slow always yields the best results.

I did a bit more internet trawling & found this most excellent site which outlines exactly how to make your own yoghurt. I had another crack following the recipe from the Dairyo for quantity & the methodology of make your own yoghurt…SUCCESS! It’s delicious.

Pictured here with Piknik muesli also delicious.

Have a fabulous weekend folks.

got handy with the squeegee
& washed the windows & doors
walked the city lanes
& learned a fair bit

I know there is some question as to whether The Pav originated in Australia or New Zealand. Regardless of which country is the rightful owner, the dessert has become an iconic Australian sweet & features at just about every suburban BBQ this time of year.

So…I thought it most appropriate as my photograph for the Canon Island challenge this week. You can vote for the image that takes your fancy right here if you feel so inclined.

I also thought that you might get a kick out of the set up too … nothing spontaneous about this shot.

Baked beans…almost as iconic as the pav.
