Not a Rapper. An Unwrapper.

George, showing skill and finesse when it comes to unwrapping presents.

The signs of Christmas...

Christmas - A time of pointy carrots and home-made butter.

Christmas 2014

Beach Bunnies

Funny that...

Big Brother is watching. And waiting.

Margaret said she felt like a vegetable frittata for dinner. 

Needed 5 eggs. The first four were double yolkers. 

Five eggs, nine yolks.

Doesn't look happy...

Coming home from a pro-ABC rally, our tram had an argument with the overhead wires.

Came off second best.

Olives, olives, olives.

Last night's dinner featured black olives in each course.

A cold platter to start with green and black olives in there.

The last course, with candied black olives as a garnish.

(Yes, that is beetroot under the chocolate mousse.)

I forgot to photograph the main course - a chicken, red & yellow peppers and black olives dish.

No a lot to be proud of.

Life echoes.

Random shots from George's 2nd Birthday.

Tattered but fruitful...

The leaves hail-shredded but the fruit of the tamarillo hang in there.

George registers a strong positive on the "scamp-o-meter".

Presenting the new cake on the block...

You're probably aware that a 'brownie' came about from a failed chocolate cake. Last night I left the milk out of a lemon delicious and produced a tasty but heavier dessert. 

I am going to call it a 'Yellowish'.
