[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 157772, member: 1991"] G'day, people. It sounds like you are all having a wonderful weekend. Linda, the music sounds great. And where would guitarists be, without a pianist to give them the note so they can tune up? Happy birthday for husband, it sounds like a delicious dinner planned. Sharon/LDM, I hope easy child can find a nice plant. What about something herbal? There are some really attractive but useful plants, including some unusual ones. Enjoy the movie later, and the cookout tomorrow. Smallworld, enjoy the start of summer. I hope you get in the exercise you want. Sharon/Wiped, you're heading to see Indie as well? I hope you get some sleep - NOT in the movie! Last night when we were talking, easy child said she wanted to go to the mall this morning so that's what we did. It's her birthday weekend, so we're letting her set the agenda. At the mall we bought her some more games for her PS2, then bought some food for dinner tonight - pork is still cheap at the butcher at the mall, so we cooked a leg of pork and roasted a tray full of vegetables. We cooked it at mother in law's place, I love her oven, it saved us at least an hour or more. Then I baked a tray of fancy biscuits (I was playing with two flavours of biscuit dough, cutting out insert shapes and swapping them over, for two-tone stars and hearts). We'd bought a Blackforest cake for easy child's birthday and we've had a lovely day together, celebrating it. A pity easy child 2/difficult child 2 & BF2 were working, but they COULD have come home too, to have dinner with us. Still, they'll be with us tomorrow when the games continue - Wii Fitness plus SingStar in mother in law's living room, while I bake more biscuits and mother in law bakes one of her fabulous meat pies. We were going to see "The Black Balloon" at the cinema, as easy child hasn't seen it (the movie didn't go to Newcastle) but it looks like it's finally finished in the cinemas. Well, at least that means it will be available on DVD soon. I really hope the movie goes to the US - not just because our kids are in it, but also because it's a really good film especially for people who need to understand what it's like to live with autism.

Enjoy your holiday weekend, all of you in the US. Marg [/QUOTE]
