Friday, March 14, 2008 The end of my Day Posted in A Day in My Life Since last post I've put the cleaner over our bedroom. The kids brought in washing, folded it & put it away. Abbey helped with the cattery -they all loved their fresh meat. Watered the garden Picked rock melons - I think they are a tad over ripe. And most have come on at once - better google on down what I can use them for, Dinner made vege meal of stuff potatoes & ratatouille (SP) For James I omit egg & cheese out of stuffed potatoes & he just had bacon, onion, parsely & chives (herbs from garden) Ratatouille - onion, garlic, capsicum. zucchini, egg plant & tomatoes which all but onion & garlic was from the garden. Pudding I made Black Boy Crumble. Peeled the peaches & finely chopped them. topping 50g butter rubbed in 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup (not pressed down) of brown sugar 1/2 cup rolled oats 1/4 cup coconut. Bake in hot 200 deg C oven.  - You don't need to cook the fruit if chopped small - I use this recipe often for apples - but put 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in topping. Served with whipped cream For James I made a water bath & poached him some Black boys with brown sugar on the top. We ate very late as we wanted to eat with Brent tonight - he has been working long hours. - We ate while watching Dancing with the Stars. Kids did dishes - James unstacked & Abbey re stacked. Just off to re fill jugs for boiled water for tomorrow - it really is tasting YUCKY even being boiled - need to get Brent to take water bottles to work so we get nice water - it tastes soapy & when I hose my garden it sure smells chemically. We haven't had much rain so I think the council has us on bore water shudder. WOW what a lot of posts for my day - not sure if I can do this every month - 9.40pm I'm off to do water, say night to kids & bed don't think I'll get much of my book read tonight. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend!

It takes a long time to write it all up doesn't it but it gives you a good impression of exactly what you do in your day. Well done Jenny • Permanent Link Saturday, March 15, 2008 - yes Posted by TheGoodLife Yes jenny it did take more computer time than I normally spend in a day - but it was fun! I might actually make it into a scrapbook - keepsake for a future generation to see just what I did. I think it would be fun to keep a scrapbook of A Day in your life - wish I had one when kids were smaller & I was caring for Brent's parents - it all seems such a blur Thanks for organising this Love Leanne • Permanent Link Saturday, March 15, 2008 - A Day in My Life Posted by Anonymous Hello Leanne, Nice to meet you too.
