Hi Iza,

Hi Deb ,I will be OK thanks. Hope that you had a Good Morning 

Hope no one here lives near the fires burning  in Castlereagh .Just watching it on abc news24 now 

Good afternoon Stringers

Took an early mark!

Keeping a close eye on the bushfires over in the Lower Blue Mountains in particular.  I know there are a number of ebayers who live in or around that area and hope they are not seriously impacted.

My kin are further west in the Upper Mountains so at least I know they are safe right now thankfully. Not looking good for the summer season though 

Good afternoon Stringsters 🙂

When I took my GD to Adelaide a couple of  years ago, our daily treat was to have coffee (me) and hot chocolate (her) and share a lemon tart.  It was all very inexpensive it didn't matter where we bought one, they were delicious.

That was when I realised Adelaide had not discovered the Sydney policy of buying cheap ingredients and charging top dollar for cakes. Lucky we were only there a few days or my waistline may have expanded very quickly.

You just made my mouth water Prim - citrus tarts are a weakness of mine 

Good afternoon by the way .....

Hi Laney, they really were a treat. It was the first time GD had ever had one and then I could not stop her LOL. That was a wonderful little holiday, at the zoo we saw the pandas rolling around, watched the meerkats being very, very norti, with a special treat of them bringing out their babies and dropping them in front of their audience (us) to admire. Swam at the beach, she met relatives galore, toasted marshmallows and played charades by a bonfire and we dined on lemon tarts.  Bliss
