Meetup: ok... well next Friday the 17th should be ok for me... when was that protest? Surely we'd be ok if we all got off at Melbourne Central and snuck into Borders? Especially if the weather is going to be wet (i don't say "foul" anymore because we need the rain!). If the crowds aren't too bad we could wander over to Myer seeing as though we all know the way now... I need to buy my BB Secret Santa Gift too! Oooh who else is doing that???

oh and WISON: strawberries. Whipping up a flan using the left over sheets of short crust pastry from the mini quiches I made for DH's party (they turned out great... was able to make heaps... probably about 2 dozen at least and they were devoured... not too expensive either.... anyhow the pantry is getting pretty empty and I'm in "using up" mode. There was a punnet of strawberries left over which is still in surprisingly good condition... oh and I'm also nibbling on some rocket leaves.... just because they are there and need eating.

I'm also finding that Niall is awake a lot more during the day these days... but he sleeps well at night so it's ok... he's establishing a good rhythm. Must take a new piccy for his 5 month mark coming up soon.. IK, maybe it's just my 'pute but your ticker piccy is a tad dark... what do you reckon girls? Our monitor is already at 90% brightness and looks washed out if I lighten it anymore.

ETA: oh and thankyou CeeCee for that affectionate little peck ROFL you're a sweetie! I had a bit of a giggle at your attempt at a meetup... you must have been beside yourself with mortification! LOL Still you need to get yourself down here and join one of ours... we'll guide you the whole way via sms... don't worry
