Good was going to say morning but just glanced at the clock - where did the morning go - another very warm day my veggie pod is going berserk - will never plant so many lettuces again - the Cos ones are OK as they grow upright - will be able to provide the salad for the 30 odd coming to my sons for Xmas dinner no problem !
I remember Mum used to cook the ham every year in a blanket of dough - she was always running late and would decide about 10pm the dish was too small so would send Dad to the neighbours to borrow their big dish and Dad would stay for a tipple or two -so the ham wouldn’t go into the coal range until midnight - all us kids would be in a panic that father Xmas wouldn’t stop because Mum was still cooking - funny the things you remember
Five years yesterday since my old boy passed on - my 16 grandson sent me a photo late yesterday afternoon from up the Kawekas in his Grandads swandri - they used to go tramping together up there - he is a super kid - I still haven’t finished his blanket in school colours -
Mr P will be pleased with the baking Popeye - the food gets a bit predictable
