[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 137154, member: 1991"] G'day, everybody. Linda, that tuna pasta sounds great. Do you roast the garlic whole, or just put it in crushed? Good to hear wm is taking up drawing. I hope you find the book you need. Sharon/Wiped, spring break already? And you're napping BEFORE the health club? I'd be needing a good long sleep afterwards. Sharon/LDM, flat ironing hair takes me back, way back. Look after yourself, you don't want a cold at this time of year. husband & I just got in after the wedding - my best friend's daughter (Greek). She looked lovely - nothing like a meringue, more like understated Greek goddess. Her mother made the dresses and they looked fabulous. She's offered to make the dresses for our brides too. It was a lovely wedding, until the DJ turned the music up loud. Then the dance floor emptied, everyone old or with babies left, and even young people were avoiding the loud music. Why do they do that? I went out to the car in search of ear plugs, I ended up having to make my own papier maché ear plugs out of an old paper towel. After that I was immune to the music, and I could still hear people talking to me, but they couldn't hear me very well unless I almost shouted in their ears. A pity - we would have really enjoyed talking to people, instead of trying to mime. Still, we had a good time and it was good for husband & me to get out together. It's very hot here tonight. Even outside, it's about 75 F, in autumn, at almost midnight. But spare a thought for Adelaide - they're STILL in the grip of the longest heatwave ever for an Aussie capital city, plus fires are breaking out everywhere. Our friends from Philly are there at the moment, I hope they're not suffering too much. They'll be here on Thursday (probably about the time the heatwave arrives here!) and some time in between, I have to get the church's Paschal candle made, in time for me to decorate it for Easter Sunday. I think husband & I are going to have to work on it tomorrow. It's a bit of a long process, because that much wax in a long column shrinks as it cools and I have to watch it to make sure it doesn't cavitate around the wick; as the wax shrinks down the middle, I have to keep the channel open so I can pour more wax into any holes that form. It's like watching a fire - you can relax a bit, but still must be vigilant to avert a potential disaster. Enjoy your Saturday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
