[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 214641, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Sharon/WO, a 23 pound turkey! Have you got an oven big enough to fit it in? And a block and tackle to hoist it up to swing it into the oven? Wow! Maybe you should do a feast Aussie-style (or Kiwi-style) - dig a huge pit and barbecue everything in a pit fire, or alternatively wrap it all up, place the wrapped food on the coals, cover over the food and coals with wet sacks and/or leaves, then a tarpaulin, then dirt, then relax and wait a few hours before digging up the feast. Maybe that's what we should have done for the wedding feast... Rabbit, I hope you get your calm Saturday wish! And yes, anyone can start the Good Morning thread, although my own personal rule is that I must wait until it's past midnight (ie definitely AM) wherever the server for Conduct Disorders happens to be (it has moved a couple of times). I once started the Good Morning thread when it was that morning Aussie time, and it thoroughly confused everybody! We're 19 hours ahead of the CD server, if I didn't "play fair" I would always be starting the Good Morning thread and nobody else would stand a chance! Well, it's after 11 pm here and we had a lovely wedding today for difficult child 1. Too early for photos yet, plus husband is anxious about our security and so will need to be reassured that we are posting photos safely. It was NOT typical November weather for us - it felt like late autumn, frankly. It began with sun, then a rain storm blew in followed by a windy change and cold weather. easy child & I (and a friend) went to the church to decorate the arbour on the front lawn beside the beach. We were struggling with the wind so strong but the sun had come out again. By the time the bride arrived (by boat, then walking barefoot across the sand to our stretch of lawn) the sun was out and warm despite the cool breeze. Everything went well although the bride (my DAUGHTER-IN-LAW!) has a sore throat and laryngityis. She pushed her voice enough to get her vows out audibly, but had to whisper after that. I will have to post separately in Watercooler, maybe tomorrow. Or maybe husband can post, whoever gets to do it first. Right now we're both very tired, we all waved the pair goodbye than after a quick clean-up, we headed to the local club for dinner. No way was I cooking tonight! Just before we left the dinner, we had a final quick talk to easy child 2/difficult child 2 and BF2 about their choice of wedding venue. We now have it firmly chosen and on Monday I will call the place to confirm the booking. Meanwhile at today's wedding, easy child's uncle offered to use his boat as HER "bridal car" for HER wedding. Meanwhile easy child 2/difficult child 2 used today's wedding to recruit her flower girl. So we were STILL doing three wedding stuff today, of all days! I just checked the forecast - tomorrow will be like today was, windy and unpredictable. But tomorrow we don't have to do anything special, just be with family. Maybe go for a short walk. Enjoy your Saturday, everyone. husband & I will be sleeping ours off while you get up and get going with yours. Marg [/QUOTE]
