Katy and Amber. Helloooooooo to you both.
My New Years resolution (which was a great-grand-aunts saying) may be too impossible to abide...."Know something of everything and everything of something" but I'll try.
Loved Morticia Addams. Cut the flower off the plant to make the plant look better![]()
I was researching something the other day and came across Lurch. It was his hand that was Thing.
Well the Victorian era GG-aunt will be impressed with my increased knowledge.![]()

lol Deb, the cows across the road from us "cut up" now and again as well - they just bellow and bellow. Not sure why. (We live on the edge of a large country town).
My Day: Went for a nice long walk this morning - it was sunny with a cool breeze so perfect for walking. Got home around 11 and had some lunch and we planned to leave for a cousin's house around 1 as it is her 79th birthday today. Around 12.45 we had visitors .... and they stayed until around 3.10pm. We ended up leaving at 3.30 for a half hour trip to their farm. Lovely and peaceful out their. Do you remember the photo I showed you of their lake and the water lillies. Well, it looked absolutely beautiful today - around half covered with masses of water lillies out in full bloom.
We were bad (there goes my walk) and bought Red Rooster on the way home and we were home for around half an hour when a friend from around the corner came around and asked could I take her to the Eye and Ear hospital in Melbourne next Wednesday. I took her to her eye specialist about a week before Christmas in the suburbs but this is right in Melbourne. We were going away on the Thursday but will put it off until Friday as I want to do some baking to take with us as we will be staying with rellies.
So, my day started off casual but became busy. Tomorrow night I am cooking a roast for the family.
How has everyone's day been. I haven't had time to test the oven again - couldn't buy an oven thermometer today anyway. I am going to cook some cupcakes in a moment to see how it goes starting off on a higher temperature.
Will say goodnight and be back tomorrow ....

DEB "Cut Up" = Make noise = Bleat VERY loudly at times He has 7 of them in his yard and if one starts up, then other usually join in. It doesnt bother me at all, I quite like the sound.
Total fire ban for most Vic tomorrow and prob again on Sat

The knowledge is increasing. So as my English teacher used to say...."use it in a sentence so that you will remember the word".
Yes Miss. There has been cutting up in the long paddock today.
Sea breeze just eased right off. Humidity up. Rumbling and lightning happening out East. TV reception interference.
Beddie byes from me.

Hope evryone is enjoying 2015 so far.
I have managed 2 boot camp sessions, many family gatherings and lots of shopping at Bunnings and Masters.
New light fittings in the dining room, more furniture culled, books culled, new light fitting on the front patio, beautiful jobs done by my lovely son and DIL, worth their weight in gold! My garden looks fabulous!
Sadly they have to leave tomorrow and return home but the girls are staying! ![]()
Happy Nana.

Uh-oh. Static electricity in the air. I'm all a-buzz.
Had some choccie late in the evening. Or it could have been the chinese takeaway. Or turned off this thing too late.
Headed to bed. Read for a short time. Then dreamt. Dreamt some more. And waited.............and waited............and waited for the little black boxes that I had been kudoed for my dreams.![]()
Been up for about an hour. Even done some word games. Nobody to play words with. Well, I'll just go back to bed.

The Bird Baths are all full of water which I think the birds will appreciate over the next two days.
I have noticed that when it gets really hot, like 35+, the sparrows and Doves sit around the water
or in the Ivy and large Fushia above it. Must be a bit of a micro climate of cool air !
