What have you been doing today?

Lovely photo Cookie.  Thanks for taking us with you on your holiday.
Last night on Food Safari, Fire, we saw the Argentinean restaurant in Adelaide where we went for a meal with Judy. It was recommended by Katie's DH. Would certainly go there again.

This afternoon DH and I are escaping from work and heading up to the Sanguine Estate Music Festival in Heathcote, Central Victoria.  It is a wonderful, full weekend of good food, good music, great companionship and fine wine - the weather is invariably good to us and it is such a relaxing weekend - we really look forward to it every year.

Lovely photo Cookie.  We loved Albany when we visited some years ago.

Have a lovely relaxing weekend Cuilidh.

Sounds like a nice weekend planned Cuilidh. 

We are on our way to Adelaide for a couple of nights.  Will catch up with our son today and tomorrow night we are going to a birthday bash at a hotel where a band is playing.  A chance to get dolled up !

Isn't it nice to explore areas in your own State cookie, I really enjoyed our ship's stopover there many years ago.

I watched that programme too Chookie but with iPad on lap, obviously I wasn't listening properly.  I saw one scene which did remind me of our lunch at that restaurant, no wonder it looked familiar LOL.

Marina your weekend sounds wonderful, relax and enjoy. 

Julie, we're putting on a nice weekend for you, have fun.

Oh, Have fun  Julie.

Been doing outside work this morning, my artificial grass is now looking spic 'n span again after I blew and vacuumed it - first time in many months as it's been quite windy here for some time now.  I should have done it in 2 sessions as it's a big job but I pushed myself to do the lot.  That's it for me for the day.

Judy, is this you in the first photo pushing a trolley?

I was trying to find where Aldi was and whether to go and have a look and found this.

No Julie, but I agree with you that it sure does look like me    There's no way I'd put myself through the trauma of attending an opening of any store these days. There are no Aldi's near us yet but when they do come to the Western suburbs, I'll go along after everything's settled down.  I've been to the Ballarat Aldi and I quite enjoyed that.

I had a lovely afternoon with DH & Mum as they had a Happy Hour and karaoke afternoon.  It was lovely to see the oldies (and not so old) singing along and enjoying their cocktails.  Some may sleep well tonight 

 

[JulieO]

Haha, it looks like you have a double Judy    I'll leave Aldi this trip but will check it out at a later date.

We are going to Jamie's restaurant at lunch time tomorrow.  There seems to be mixed reviews so will go with an open mind.

The other night I went to a Jo Whitton seminar here in Melbourne, which was great. My oldest daughter Elisabeth, who is 8, made dinner tonight using the chips. We had Pizza Margherita and Pizza Bianca. She wanted just the Bianca and I said we needed it to support something else, not be the main meal. It was good, I just helped her ensure it was all evenly covered, and I shaped the dough and got them in and out of the cupboard. She'll want a Thermomix when she's old enough to move out.

Everyone that is away enjoy your break.
Chookie the restaurant that you mentioned looked lovely on Fire last night. I'm enjoying that show.
Your DD will be doing all the cooking soon Sarah, enjoy it.

We drove home today. The baby van is all unpacked and some of the washing done.

I spent part of the afternoon with a friend looking for her lost dog.We didn't find him but he was found safe and well very near her house.

Thank goodness for that Denise. It's such a worry when pets go missing.
