Let go of my Lego

I've been collecting Lego for a while, for no apparent reason. So, we've decided to sort it out and get rid of it. Here's young Karen, sitting in front of the telly, playing with her Lego...

Comfort Food

We live in an interesting little ecosystem here on the Sunshine Coast and the supermarkets play a little game with loss leaders. This week all the planets aligned for bargains for our regular meat cooking sessions. Hot Italian Sausages, Meatloaf, Sirloin tip roast (also used in the stew) and a couple of nice steaks sliced from it to be enjoyed tomorrow. A nice pork roast too. We worked it out, about 25 double meals for less than fifty bucks, all cooked in the same oven over a two hour period. It was stew for tea tonight, sirloin tip instead of stewing beef, melt in the mouth goodness.

White Rock Sunset

White Rock Marathon

Start of a twelve mile walk in White Rock last week. I had all my hair chopped off for the occasion.

Five hours later...

Still smiling, probably the beer kicking in...

Hop Harvesting

We spent the entire day, almost, hop harvesting up at the brew farm. It was a volunteer effort but they rewarded the brave with unlimited beer and pizza, so it would have been foolish to not offer our services.

It really was an amazing, social day, lots of discussion and laughter, a fair bit of beer and food. We're looking forward to the hoppy creations starting off with the Centennial Hops that we picked today.
