G'day people.
It's hotting up again here. husband, difficult child 3 & I went to the mall again today to finalise Christmas shopping (including food). difficult child 3 had spent all his money on himself the other day; today he was taking toys back so he could get money back and do what he should have done - buy gifts for people.
We managed to get out of there and home for a late lunch. Very tired - I still haven't got the stamina I think I have. But tonight I've been baking - mince pies and some cookie press biscuits for our friends at church. I've got three trays baked (biscuits). I should finish them off tomorrow.
So our shopping is done, much of our food prep is still to go, but we're finally moving towards a more sensible summer Christmas fare. Smoked salmon, salad... and then of course I'm still planning a glazed ham and double-rack of lamb with roast vegetables.
I'm about to get the last batch of biscuits out of the oven, then we will go home. Yes, I'm doing the baking at mother in law's place, she has a better oven. Besides, we're down here every night for dinner anyway.
Enjoy your Wednesday.
