Colourful Lights.

A treat in these humid Summer evenings is to sit in the dark of the living room and look at these colourful lights.

T Party

On Monday, a few mothers and a sister from our local school gathered here for a T party:  Tea/not Tea, Tic Tacs, Tiny Teddies, Tart, Tim Tams, Taco chips, Tsaziki, Tea bun etc....  They came to try my tricycle.

Crystal Anniversary.

It is our anniversary today; 15 years-crystal....

Towards 2012.

I had too many scraps of paper stuck on to the bottom of December 2011, so I have started putting details into the calendar for 2012.  I bought a super duper organised calendar with a space for each of our names.  This year's calendar has country scenes from my favourite magazine Country Style.  The organised calendar for next year also has stupid phrases at the top.  Guess which one I prefer???  I am going to miss the lovely pictures and I am not that confident that I will be any more organised with the new calendar.

Healthy Muesli Bars.

With the cooler weather, I baked muesli bars this afternoon.  Inside the 'healthy' mixture is 250g rolled oats, 75g coconut, 250g choc bits, 75g sunflower seeds and a 395g can of condensed milk.  Mix and place in 2 slice tins and bake for 20minutes. Wait till cooled and slice.

I like knowing what is inside these muesli bars.  

PS:  the oven temperature is 180C... also once you have the oats and the coconut in, you can choose what else to put into the slice.  Just make sure that the balance of dry ingredients as a total  is 325g.  We like dried cranberries and sultanas....

Nectarines

Summer is heralded by nectarines, peaches and mangoes.  13 year old son tried a nectarine and declared that they were a tad premature.  Well it certainly does not feel like Summer this week!

Strange, but it Works.

The weight that holds the cord for the blinds has disappeared.  A cube takes its place.
The daily hair brushing takes place in the laundry.....strange but it works.
