I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend. I had a sleep in this morning and escaped for MD time this afternoon which was nice, followed by a family outing to (am I CRAZY) a poetry event LOL. Actually it was pretty good, it was in a park and there was a conveniently located grassy hill for the kids to entertain themselves rolling down while we took in the culcha. Tomorrow, veggie patch planting. I'm trying melons this year, going to water them with the proceeds of the evap aircon (= regular water on the hottest days) so they'll be nice n juicy.

Speaking of which Trill I forgot to update you on our mystery feral pumpkins which we harvested mid-winter. Defying all known rules of pumpkin cultivation we got several huge sweet beauties of a shape and colour I've never seen. Good eating. I think DH chucked all the seeds out though which is a pity, I'd like to try them a second year.

Trill how did the bake sale go? Did they sell your gorgeous bickies at a premium price? Good luck with your exam and papers.

Arte I hope the family visit is going well.
