[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 287204, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Happy Independence Day for those of you in the US. Trish, I had to chuckle about the goats. We've got strong winds here, too. Such good news about daughter! If you need someone to go with you to Paris next year, do keep me in mind... TM, enjoy the BBQ. Here's hoping that if any bullying happens, you're on top of it and A's parents also witness it. Enjoy the fireworks! SRL, the jam and apple butter sound lovely. I do a microwave strawberry jam, it keeps the colour much better and cooks really quickly. I bottle it while still boiling, then seal it with pop-top metal lids. As the jam cools the pop-top pos back down again and I can store the jars in the cupboard for years. I also do a roast tomato chutney the same way. I developed the recipe myself, trying to copy a delicious relish we found down in the Victorian Alps ten years ago. I've had a hectic day - I had to head out to a meeting, but also to get my blood test repeated (they lost the previous sample). That meant I had a couple of hours to kill before my meeting. I saw a sign for a stamp collectors' meeting so I dropped in on it and ended up buying a second-hand catalogue and an old first day cover. I also got some good advice, but unfortunately the business card I was given got wet and the ink has run, I can't read it. I got to my meeting, it was an effective one and thankfully didn't go overtime. I wore a tight vest today which seemed to help keeping my broken rib held firmly. A bit uncomfortable at first but over the day I found it seemed to help keep the pain under control. I slept better last night, too. I did pull off the road to briefly catnap on the way home but I really think I'm improving at last. Tomorrow a friend & I are going to a live show at Sydney Opera House (in one of the small theatres there - it's got a lot more in it than just the Opera Theatre and Concert Hall). We've got front row seats to a show about do-it-yourself Broadway musicals; the ad said, "If the cast at times seem terrified - they are!" Improv musical theatre/comedy - I'll report in tomorrow night my time! Enjoy your celebrations today! Marg [/QUOTE]
