So why was I so busy last weekend? We had Jac’s niece and nephew, Savannah and Max, over for the afternoon and a sleepover. We spent most of the time playing Wii Sport tennis and de Blob. If you have a Wii, you really should check out de Blob – it’s a fantastic relatively new […]
We celebrated Jac’s brother’s fiancee Kelsie’s birthday last Wednesday with a family feast of finger foods. We gave Kelsie a break from cooking; the party was at their house, but the rest of us did the food preparation for the evening. This was the first of Jac’s and my contributions for the evening: fresh vegetables [&helli…
It was a big family weekend last weekend – on Sunday we got together again to celebrate my dad’s birthday with a satay lunch. Jac’s and my contribution to the meal were two fruit platters. We cut the fruit up and arranged the platters on Sunday morning, just before we left for my folks’ place. […]
Last Saturday, we celebrated my niece Ruby’s first birthday. Ruby’s proud parents, my brother Mark and sister-in-law Ange, really put on a feast for all the friends and family who attended!

Last weekend on Saturday afternoon, Jac’s mum Pattycakes and her brother’s partner K came over. Jac and her family are going away for four days to stay in a house by the beach this coming weekend – I’m not going because: 1) we have too many people currently on leave at work, and I wasn’t […]
With Jac’s brother (from Sydney) and Uncle N and Auntie K (from Brisbane) over for the weekend, we all got together on Saturday night at Jac’s brother B and his partner K’s house for a potluck family dinner. Jac and I were responsible for the nibblies. Jac made a crab dip, while I assembled the […]
We had Jac’s mum Pattycakes over for an early Mothers Day breakfast on the 4th of May. We planned three courses – fruit to start, followed by a fry-up and then waffles to finish.
