Hi Sue, Your post has altered my mood... had to pick myself up off the floor
Sorry for delayed response got called away yesterday and have only just had some spare time to get back... town trip today to Onslow which ended up in us driving half way up to Karratha with Water Samples because airport is still closed due to post cyclone flood damage.... so got absolutely nothing done... I've a list a mile long as we go on holiday in 3 weeks so did not need a lost day... such is life!
Have a heap to catch up on in our garden damage was not as bad as I had thought... seaside daisies grow well here in our arid environs but we lost all the mulch that helps that happen so have a lot of work to get that sorted again.
On the Risotto front... it sounds like you need to book a coach trip around Europe... hope you get to link up with him ... one way or another!
Ciao for now
Kate
