Sunday Barbie, Part 1

We went to a barbie at Lou and Dan’s today. They put on a great barbie with loads of food. Enough preamble, on with the photos! Here’s a view of the barbie loaded with sausages and shishkebabs.

Savannah’s sleepover, Part 2

Savannah requested bacon, eggs, baked beans and toast for breakfast this morning. While the bacon was frying, I squeezed us a glass of orange juice each.

Happy New Year

We had a relatively quiet New Year’s Eve. We went to MK’s hubby AK’s birthday party, where I ate some yummy chicken, sausage rolls and MK’s homemade custard puffs with Baileys in the custard. They were goooood. I had three of them. When I reflect on 2005, four points of note come to mind: Jac […]
