Sometimes when we have these long time rain no let up sessions I feel like I need a pair.
My pond is in the back corner of the yard which is higher than the patio and grass area. Although I had a concrete curb poured around both and filled it in with black rock, it still will roll water down when it overflows. ProfCrash and pooh I hope you both feel better soon. Charlie I have my fingers crossed and just know something will turn up for you. |

Hot Chocolate. It's freezing here and it's the first day of summer! Not that I want to get too hot, but a nice sunny 22 would be lovely. Don't expect to have to put on a jumper at this time of the year.
Just spent a couple of days babysitting my 2 and 4 year old granddaughters, now I know why we are supposed to have kids when we are young! |

Wait... first day of winter? Umm that does not happen till the earth is a bit further in its orbit. Why would UK celebrate that before the physical event happens?

Coke Zero #3 in my cup. I count today as the first day of winter, partly because it's 1st December, and partly because this morning we've had our first snow shower (no danger of it settling yet though). |

Rooibos for me. Lucas is working on abottle after having some pears. Tomorrow he gets banana for the first time. The Earth's Best baby food doesn't taste bad. But I choose a food that is a bit more expensive that is only pear and water, sweet potato and water. Next week I'll start making his food at home but we still need the jars for day care.

Back home since yesterday. I still am a wreck, but enjoyed my journey immensely. Sorting the photo's now and working on my blog. Staying inside as the temperature in Egypt was 34 degrees and here about zero.
In my cup: Rooibos vanilla spice, hot On the photo: the Seti I temple in Abydos, Egypt Last edited by desertblues; 01-21-2013 at 09:56 AM. |

Glad you're back safe and sound, desertblues. An amazing area of the world, but a scary place to be visiting right now.
Today is a kickback day. Watch some curling, do some knitting, and start a second batch of bacon. I'm going to teach a mini-class next Saturday on how to dry-cure bacon, and need to get batches spaced out so that I can demonstrate the different stages of the process. In my cup: fresh squeezed orange juice. (It's the very beginning of the California navel orange season, and the Valencia season is over, so the result is a bit thin and tart, but still good.) Next up, some Anniversary Breakfast Blend. |
