Took my daughter Xmas shopping. Actually, she did most of the shopping, I was there to pay for it. :wink: Also caught up with my son for a few hours. :D

Yeah, ta for that. My son, daughter, stepson ( their brother) and their "partners" are hopefully all coming over next sunday for a few beers, BBQ, few games of pool and singstar. Should be a hoot. Just got to manage any tension between the stepson and his mum (my ex wife) if she stays. :roll:

Catching up with and spending time with family is great. Being in the middle of family feuds isn't.

Made a lasagne tonight, and it smells divine, should be ready in about 20 minutes, got my glass of Taylors Cab Sav ( better than Wirra Wirra Church Block) and am just getting the mouthwatering smells coming from the oven!

Fettucini with home grown zucchini, some chopped prosciutto, garlic, olive oil and a sprinkling of Pecorino cheese. It was great :D

Only draw back, my breathe at the moment would knock over an elephant :shock:

Bugger,

All I had was lamb cutlets and pork Ribs (done in a hot chilli marinade) with a salad of mixed lettuce, carrot, tasty cheese, asparagas, marinated artichoke hearts and some italian bean salad. :(

tasted good but. :wink:

Oh, and regarding your breath franki, when you send a fax to Werribee later it sounds like you could disturb the eco system. :wink:

Funny how the entire mentality of society has changed from say 10 years ago where all we wanted was the rain to go away... Rain is now an incident to be celebrated! We've become just a little bit more conscious of our world, and it's great! :)
