[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 163625, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Linda, I hope the weather clears up for you. Although maybe some dull weather will encourage you to take things easy and build up your energy reserves? As for something to do with kt - what about making a batch of biscuits? I love to cut them into shapes, and sometimes do two different flavours/colours and swap cutout bits between biscuits, to give a two-tone effect. Sharon/Wiped, that sounds like a lot of rain you're getting. Can you store any of it? A neighbour of ours built a sump which he used to store excess rainfall, and during hot dry weather he would pump the water out of the sump and underneath the lawn via irrigation pipes. In wet weather, it just went the other way. They had the best garden! Sharon/LDM, hibernation mode is the best way to weather the extreme heat. Another tip (if you're not already doing it) - store bottles of water in the fridge, or even the freezer, to give you plenty of cool water to drink. As a frozen water bottle begins to thaw you drink the meltwater, then fill it from the tap. This melts it more and chills it at the same time. It can get you a lot more chilled water than just adding ice. I hate it in heatwaves when the water gets too hot to drink. difficult child 3 has to do a maths exam tomorrow. I didn't get to do it with him over the weekend, so tomorrow will have to do. We should have a fairly empty house, which is important. He has a study day at school on Thursday, so I'll take the paper in then, plus any completed work (saves the time it takes if I post it). We had a quiet day today, just mucking around and not doing anything. husband spent the day familiarising himself with the new computer and customising it a bit more to our usage. We've just cooked a stir-fry Chinese-style meal for "the horde". We need a big wok! easy child & BF1 went home early this morning, easy child 2/difficult child 2 & BF2 were at work all day, but we had our full contingent for dinner tonight. husband has a day off tomorrow but is going out to his podiatrist appointment in the morning. I think it will be busy tomorrow for me and difficult child 3. Enjoy your Tuesday, everybody. Marg [/QUOTE]
