Well I'm pleased to say that my goodies sold like hotcakes! The rainbow and chock freckle cookies were the first to go literally within minutes apparently. I missed the start of the fete by about 20 minutes and they were long sold by then. The other stuff sold well too and they certainly weren't passing any of it around for free with the other unsold stuff at the end of the day LOL.

MD, did they get a frost on them at all? If they had a frost on them they will keep for months in a cool dry place, but if they had no frost they wont keep as long. Would be a shame to loose them to rot. Interesting they came out looking like they did. FIL had one grow out of his compost once and they were really odd looking too. They looked like a queensland blue in colour and had the ridges along it, but it was really long, like a watermelon would be. Didn't affect the taste at all though. So what else are you planting? The kids have got their own vege patch going with corn, capsicum, carrots, cucumbers and lettuce in it and they are looking after it really well. A waters it in the morning when the kids have gone to school and L waters it in the evening. L does ag at middle school so he's quite into growing things atm which is great. The poetry arvo sounded lovely!

Cass, I forgot to ask you the other day about your UN job. Will it mean you have to come back to Aus at all? or is it all doable from where you will be based OS?

Work is going well - got the annotated session plans done yesterday and I only have the report to do today. I should get it done easy enough. Then it gets submitted tomorrow and I only have the maths exam on the 9th and I'm done for the year! I think DH is looking forward to it more than I am LOL.
