Congratulations on your wedding anniversary Wonder.

What a great weekend you had BZB.  The crabs look yummy.

The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.

Deedub thank you for the correct spelling etc of onam.........ic. I knew it had more letters but couldn't work out where they went.

Wonder what a lovely weekend and congratulations on 25 years.

BZB the photos are beautiful and the crabs look very delicious. I will have to learn how to do them before we go to Monkey Mia this year.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Happy anniversary Wonder.  8)

Today - looking after 4 kids that have been out of routine (because of having visitors to stay) since Thursday.... :-\
Also sorting all the leftovers from the weekend into meal lots etc - and chucked a heap of roast dinner leftovers into the TM bowl and pureed them up for the baby - she had some for lunch and loved it!  :D (& I fell even deeper in love with my Thermie! :-* )
Washing (normal + extra sheets/towels etc)
Dishes
Everyday jobs
Tidying, sorting, and basically just getting the house back to normal  :)

Loved having the visitors - enjoyed it immensely, but now loving having our house back too. 8) :D
:D

It is lovely having visitors astarra  :D A lot of work preparing for them and extra washing after they leave.
Hope the girls are back in routine quickly for you. You do have your hands full at the best of times with 4 kids.  :)

After reading that I'm going to put on a load of washing - I can bring it in after work tomorrow. So many people find washing relaxing apparently. Janette Howard (our former prime ministers wife) said that when she was feeling stressed, she would put on a load of washing.

BZB that crab looks wonderful - it's one of my favourite meals that I haven't had for soooooo long.
Astarra, sounds like a busy day. I did lots of washing today too, sorted the school bags for next week, labelled stationery, and attempted sorting through kids toys, cooked lunch for extra kids, entertained visitors, cooked dinner. Thank goodness I'm going to work tomorrow ;)

BZB what a lot of fun and washing up. Lovely food and lovely beach break.  Mandurah looks wonderful.

Everyone's been real busy. Fun times Astarra, you are amazing with your 4.

This is the floor of the new office. Thought you'd like to see the mud! That was just from today and putting it together.
The barn and office were put up today. Hoping for the roof on tomorrow.


And this was a glimpse of rare sun just before dark.
It didn't rain today, we woke up to thick fog, but at least it's not windy with the barnraising.  ;D

An old fashioned barnraising  ;D Feel like I'm watching The Waltons . The women can prepare refreshments and lunch while the men build the barn.  :D

That's what  I thought too Mich!  ;D

You just left out the long dresses and bonnets and all the double names like Betty-Jo and Violet-Mae who man (woman) the refreshments table and Billy-Bob and John-Boy who snap their suspenders and wink at the girls as they get a plate of food.

Sorry! Couldn't resist!  ;D

Hilarious..... So glad I can give you gals a trip to the tv world of our youth...
Or the Oklahoma of the previous generation.

Unfortunately in modern times it is 3 men and a powerful machine.... to get the frame up.
Then two to put roof sheets on and one man hopefully finishes it off.

Nikkit - My bonnets and dresses are still in store.... Luckily I still have my gum boots..... :)
Not sure where the men's braces are ( over here suspenders are meant to be female attire) ....

The most memorable bits for me are their good nights. "Good night, John Boy" :)
