Goodness Denise. He has grown a lot since the last pic I saw. What fun  8)

We are roasting here in Sydney. Temperature at 1pm and it's still climbing. My poor chookies are suffering and my vegetables patch is history :P If all the girls survive today I'll be happy.

Black bread is in the small oven, tomato relish is simmering on the stove top and I am going to try to convert a recipe for a healthy apple cake before I head out to yoga at 6pm

Louis vertainly has grown. Snakes and ladders is one of my favourite games.
Gayle, you have a few degrees on us. It only got to 39.6 here and the cool change came through at about 1700hrs. Very windy now. The house hasn't cooled down and the air con is still going.

Commiserations with the hot weather girls, it’s horrid at this time of the year when there is so much to do.

Gayle and Mich that is horribly hot. Take care.

Over a period of time during the year I made these gingerbread houses for the GC.  I have one that comes out every year and is full of M&M's, it's a big hit with the children big and small so now they can all have one each.

What a lovely idea Margaret, I’ve never seen a gingerbread house made of fabric. Brilliant idea, well done.

They are beautiful and I'm sure will be treasured.

An early morning hair cut and then a quick trip down the street for last minute gift as we have an extra guest coming on Christmas Day.

Hello Mich  :) It's lovely to hear from you. I hope you and your camper are having some fun times - in cooler areas.
Another hot day here so I've been spending more time in the backyard trying to keep the chooks cool. I have an impressive thong tan on my feet now  :-))

Mab those gingerbread houses are absolutely beautiful  8)

We went out to visit DIL for her birthday this afternoon, now sitting down with a glass of wine :) :)
