Today was a flying road trip with hubby to look at a car for him and I am absolutely exhausted. Dinner is a slap together soup and sandwich. I could eat soup every day of the week, and often do, but the rest of my family is not so enamoured. But what makes my sandwich [...]
Today was a mammoth day that was packed full of information on a work trip, the six foot teenager came home from a 3 day school retreat that was horrible, the dancing daughter achieved a prestigious opportunity, and hubby worked a super long day. Racing into the driveway after Pilates to whip up some dinner, [...]
Today was an absolutely GLORIOUS day with beautiful sunshine and breakfast with my gal pals. It was so nice to catch up over a delicious meal and coffee. Funny thing was that we saw a number of people that we all knew while we were dining……once again, Newcastle is not 6 degrees of separation but [...]
Today was SUPER busy in the test kitchen but I did manage to find the time for a cuppa and chat with a friend and then a walk with the dancing daughter in the beautiful sunshine. I know the pleasant daytime temperatures won’t be here for much longer, so we are using every last moment [...]
