[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 455814, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sorry you're copping bad weather. Stay safe. I've had a busy day. Weather-wise, it's definitely spring here now. Today was a lovely warm day, I was down to t-shirt and jeans. I could have paddled at the beach but I was busy. I spent most of the day at our church (it's right on the beach, we keep a bucket of water at the veranda for people to wash the sand off their bare feet before coming inside). We have a dinner tomorrow night and I'm on duty with chicken and corn soup (entree) and strawberry pavlova (dessert). I've got the pavlovas organised already and I was making the huge vat of chicken stock I need. A friend who lives at the church is on duty with chicken curry, she is using the chicken I boiled up for the soup. It should be a good night. I was also making sausage rolls (about 100) for lunch after church on Sunday. I figured I could get that done while the chickens were simmering. Then while I waited for it all to cool down enough to put in the fridge, I took my clippers out to the hedge on the street and did some urgent tree surgery. I told mother in law I'd pruned the hedge; she said, "Doesn't the church have its own gardener?" I reminded her that we don't have any one person responsible for anything, the whole thing is always a group effort. We see a job needing doing, we pick up and do it. Except maybe the sausage rolls; I'm the only one ever that makes them! In the last year a couple of the blokes have replaced the roof, installed rainwater tanks, solar tube lights, solar hot water and they're about to replace some timbers on the verandah (you get a lot of dry rot when you're that close to the sea). So with all that they're doing, what I did today was minimal. But I know it will be welcomed. Tomorrow I have a meeting "on the mainland". I'm collecting bread rolls for the dinner from the bakery, meeting with difficult child 1 who wants some old ugg boots to line suits of armour for his medieval warfare club. Then I'll chair my meeting and leave early so I can get back to finishing off my soup. I'll be glad to sit down and enjoy a fun night by tomorrow night. Enjoy your Friday. Marg [/QUOTE]
