[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 132480, member: 1991"] You're welcome to visit any time, Linda. It's getting cooler here but still a lot warmer than your neck of the woods. Enjoy your respite, the talking books are a brilliant idea. I have some classics on my iPod - "Under Milkwood" with the 1955 original all-Welsh cast, Richard Burton as First Speaker. I had them playing that for me when I had my last MRI. I use it for my writing classes - a wonderful example of metaphor. It has been a beautiful day today, classic autumn weather. Sunny, but with a cold wind blowing. We had the coldest Sydney day since October, but it warmed up to 22 C by lunchtime. I nearly put a cardigan on, but instead I went out in t-shirt and long skirt, I was warm enough. It's hot in the sun out of the wind. I'm told there is no wind on the beach, but I just didn't feel like testing that out. besides, difficult child 3 had schoolwork to get on with. He got it all done, except for his Geography work which has somehow got lost. I did see it briefly, he had it almost completely done but if we can't find it he will have to get another one from the school and do it again. Tomorrow will be another sunny day, the rain seems to be easing off, apart from occasional storms. Talking recipes (yes, you spelt "bruschetta" correctly) - husband bought some redfish fillets this afternoon and cooked them for our dinner. Delicious, and good to challenge difficult child 3's tastes away from pre-packaged processed food (which is always predictably the same). Tomorrow night I'll probably make osso bucco, we're getting back into comfort food but I still have the quantities of summer herbs I need, especially the thyme and basil. Parsley's all gone to seed though - another week or two and I can uproot my vegetable beds, dig them over, replenish the soil and plant a winter crop. I'm enjoying the planning. Enjoy your Saturday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
