Really lovely day here - mild with a gentle breeze.
Just finished my baking morning. A few ladies from church are baking each week for cyclone workers. Was wondering if still needed until the lady who delivered last weeks supply came back really moved at the reception she got. One man who was shovelling silt had tears in his eyes as he said that they are feeling like the world has forgotten them now.
Some of the living conditions are really aweful and many families have no kitchens so a bit of baking is appreciated. So I’ll continue as long as needed even though my 6 ice cream containers full a week isn’t much I guess every little bit helps.
Had to go to supermarket first and was pleasantly surprised that bill was at least $20 less than I though it would have been. Mind you it was nearly all just things needed for baking and no meat and I don’t buy snack type foods as can’t be bothered with them also garden is supplying all veg. and fruit at the moment. Have had a huge crop of mandarins so many that the branches were threatening to break so have given away many bags to neighbours and friends and still plenty left for me.
Now off for a walk across the park to post 2 jerseys that I’ve finished for a niece and nephew. Now knitting smaller things again to restock my charity bins again.
