a night out

not for me though.  i babysat Adina (well sat with Adina as she's hardly a baby at 27)  while my son, dil and a friend went to a fringe show.  they said they'd be home by midnight but were later as they went to the casino afterwards and actually won some money and then had trouble getting a taxi.  adina put herself to bed about 11.30.  i'm off for coffee with friends this afternoon and have a relatively relaxed week ahead so far.  only two appointments.  one is for a skin cancer check as it's been a year since i had it.  i might go back to the gym too because my foot although still sore is feeling much better.  i will make an appointment with the doctor soon.  i'm sure it's not broken just damaged.

my foot

i am having a foot xray tomorrow because i had a small accident yesterday.  a cupboard i have on the veranda fell on my foot when i was picking it up.  it's on the veranda waiting for me to restore it.  it's a very nice cupboard.  the doctor thinks it's not broken but i have tendon damage.  it is extremely sore and i am allergic to codeine.  :(  never mind, it's a small problem compared to all that's going on in the world.  and it's curable.  the cupboard is in terrible condition but i thought it would give me something to do to try and restore it or at least make it more presentable.  i forgot to say that if i were wearing my crocs it wouldn't be a problem but i had my thongs (read flip flops) on.

bacon

last week i bought a whiz bang microwave bacon cooker.  i don't eat bacon of course but my son and the rest of the family does.  i don't cook bacon very often and love my kitchen gadgets so i brought it home and invited my son over for bacon and eggs.  imagine my disappointment when the whiz bang bacon cooker thingy didn't fit into my microwave.  i didn't give fit a thought.  i just assumed.  today i took back the bacon cooker and bought instead a toast rack.  i must explain that i like my toast/muffins/crumpets etc slightly cool.  just so the butter doesn't soak in.  i am not alone with this as my friend from perth likes hers the same way.  snap.  anyhoo, i usually make a 'toast tent'.  my dad used to do it.  it's simply leaning each piece of bread/muffin etc against each other to cool.  sometimes the pieces fall over and it's difficult to get them to stay upright.  i can't wait to try it out

my toast rack

a toast tent.  i was surprised to find pictures on google.  everyone laughed at me at work when i made one.  my dad did it every time he had toast

Adina

my son had a gig at the pub last night and as it was his and his wife's 20th anniversary (since they met) he asked me to sit with Adina.  i picked her up from the pub and took her back about 12ish.  the drummer and my son need to get a large taxi home for all of their equipment and weren't packed up so i took the girls home.  i didn't get home until late but that's ok.
