They even eat them!

Ew, you wouldn't find a possum in my kitchen.
But yes, funny how our neighbours (you Aussies) protect these pests!  ;) 
Possum socks/scarves/gloves etc are so soft and snuggly!  My next socks will be hand knitted merino - my first adult pair!  Might even finish them this winter..... :-))

Astarra, why did you choose Actifry instead of Philips Air Fryer? Been looking at the Air Fryer but not sure as the capacity is small and yet the appliance takes up precious kitchen space.

I was given it, so didn't actually choose it. My mum has one and raves over it, my SIL and also my sister got one for themselves after using mum's, so Ihave them all to trade notes with too! :D

What a great service. Ordered wools socks from the Lindner site that Karen posted about. I ordered the socks on Friday and they arrived today. DH is excited as he loves new socks. Always trying to sneak them into the grocery trolley.

Chookie - I've been looking at various sources for fruit trees and came across this description . . . .

Red Centre Lime (Australian Blood Lime): Citrus Gems Red Centre Lime, also known as the Australian Blood Lime, is a cross between a finger lime and a mandarin that produces lustrous red, egg shaped fruit about the size of a cumquat. The combination of ruby red skin with a luscious red citrus pulp and a tangy pink juice makes Red Centre Lime the perfect addition to your garden and fruit bowl.Winter fruiting. Developed by the CSIRO.

Today I bought boots, 2 dresses, 1 skirt and 1 top.... operation New Work Wardrobe has begun! I had a brilliant young sales assistant at DJ's, she just kept bringing me things to try on and I liked them all. I hope she gets a commission, she certainly earned it!

well I bought it for a couple of recipes in Donna Hays black & white issue...it's generally a finishing salt.
Falksalt has an amazing range




.....well after DS footy match on Sunday, the club had an auction day....amongst all the sporting memorabilia, and general auction items.....the last item was.....a pink chandelier, with crystals and glass droplets   :D
Considering I wasn't even going to attend, fate stepped in don't you think? LOL....hubby copped a ribbing for it too  ;D
It's lounge room bound, will post a pick when up  ;)
