Another busy week is wrapping up and I have a decent list to get through today. We've had family visiting, dinner out for me, Daddy out singing in a concert and again in an eisteddfod, Sarah in a piano duet at the eisteddfod, Alice having an xray on her sore neck (which was all clear) and an evening with the pastor from our new church. Throw in all the usual weekly activities and you've got a full diary!
We've had the lawnmower at the doctor, as well as my sewing machine (but at a different doctor!). In it's absence I've been learning to use my mum's machine which she kindly brought south on the weekend. The twins should be in a new skirt each by Sunday.
This weekend is all about Guides for our girls. This afternoon Alice is heading to Parliament House for a reception with the Premier to commemorate the centenary of Guiding in Australia. She was chosen from her little guiding group so she's very excited. How is it she is old enough to eat canapes and drink chilled orange juice with the Premier, and not need her mum or dad? When did she get so grown up?
Sarah is off on a Guide camp tomorrow at the Guide Hall so she is very excited. I need to get out that list and start collecting all the goodies she needs to pack. Alice is off for a play date tomorrow with one of her lovely friends from school.
Then on Sunday all the Guide groups are spending the day at the Hall for a 10/10/2010 'Flying the flag' day so Alice will meet up with Sarah and have the day together. Wow.............I think there'll be an early night on Sunday for a few little people here!
Friday has become the day for our fruit and veg trip to Merediths at Margate. The prices and largely local produce are terrific! I picked up some overripe bananas for 50c so the twins and I are making our favourite banana cake. Royal gala apples were $1.50kg, bananas $1.50kg, pears $2.00kg and 1kg bags of carrots $1.95. I also grabbed this box of granny smith apples for $2.50 - there's heaps in there so I'm pulling out a few apple recipes this weekend. Should be fun and yummy!
Have a wonderful weekend, whatever you may be doing.
I'm off now to get through that list!

John is same colour as the apples- green with envy. He also wants to accompany Alice Please! We have farm grown bannanas on sale around the corner for $1 a kilo. Also up from us at Gairloch this week a 4 metre crocodile was trapped. It had been joining the fishermen on the bank! Love your site Ginni. Keep up the good work. xx Bev and John
