Castle Garden

Dorothy and I went to see the 'Dinner for 101' exhibition at the Castle today. We also walked along the ramparts and did some exploring around the Castle precinct. Loved this little patch of garden just outside the walls.

Steaming

My cold was worse today. I sat with the bowl of boiling water, drops of Olbas oil and a towel over my head, in an attempt to ease the congestion. Not fun.

Junior Chefs

I'm late to the party... my friends were watching and talking about Junior Masterchef Australia last year but I only started watching it recently. Am loving it though - really entertaining and such talented kids! I'm not feeling very well this week and this just the best sort of TV to watch when one's feeling poorly.

Rotten

Ha, I'm suddenly over the bountiful crop of peaches my little tree had this summer! The fruit is now dropping all over the place and full of full of fruit flies and other goggas. Sticky, stinky and very messy!

Greekish

I'm very much into Greek salads at the moment. I added some extra ingredients (peppers! chives! bacon!) into tonight's one and it was delicious.
