Just got home again - my horse has a message: what drought?? He is plump and has dapples...where is he hiding his stash of food, I wonder? It was lovely, even though the hills are shrouded in smoke, and Oscar was fascinated, as usual
Oh, and I just spoke to the lovely manager of the cinema in Boronia, who said that if I took Oscar to an early session and I couldn't watch the entire film because of unsettledness, that I could then ask at the office about a refund or a pass to come back again! Mel, the guy's name is Tom (but he said to cite a 'Cynthia' as well), if you ever need to do this and another employee says you can't - he said to say I had spoken to them about it. That sort of an attitude deserves a plug! They are online, for movie times - metroboronia dot com dot au.
Ok, now, today's posts:
Amanda - like the others, I can see why you bit back! That comment was totally uncalled for...as if you didn't already know that not bringing a nappy bag wasn't a good idea! DP and I don't really do this to one another, although he'll go as far as to say something like "That was a bit silly, wasn't it?". I think I avoid saying non-constructive things like this because of the way my mum used to react to me when I'd make a mistake (I don't think she'd do it now, but when we were kids she didn't show much restraint), and also, what's the point? Does it even make the mutterer feel any better having said it? Cos it sure as hell doesn't do a damn thing to help the situation at hand. Anyway, I don't think your letting fly at him was totally unjustified (sorry for all the double negatives!), so enjoy it for a bit
Jess - please drink loads of water tomorrow! It will help with the healing and will keep you cooler and better able to deal with all those kids on school holidays!
Nic - we all know that Nixon suffers no ill-effects from being a premmie baby! And I'll say it again, I do love how he just entertains himself quietly and serenely!
Bath - my slice was a fluke, so I wouldn't know how to further advise. I added some currants to my mix, probably why it was a bit thicker. I also don't think the flour I used was wholemeal - I just used what was in the flour tin, as it's not labelled apart from saying 'flour'! I found spreading the base and top quite tedious, even using a wooden spoon. Might make it again and see what happens for a 'take two'. I'm glad you feel more serene, too - I feel quite serene after my horsey time.
Oscar's awake again...gotta go!
