AUSSY MEAT IS.... REALLY GOOD!

I know this may sound weird, but I live in a country that is renowned for it's produce.... but when it comes to rump Steak.. You can't beat AUSTRALIAN!

ABOVE: That is just ONE Steak! I cooked two and cut them up and they fed all of us last night.  And I usually 'kill' steak... it comes out dry and rubbery... but no matter what I do, I can't kill this meat!
It always comes out beautifully, and so tasty!
I hate to give our closet neighbours credit for much... but their Beef is amazing.


Actually, I suppose I have to start really liking Australians now... my Mother lives there, and my Sister, and my eldest Son and his baby daughter, and some nieces live there too!   So many Kiwis cross the ditch and never come back.  *sniff*


Before I was plagued by hot flushes I used to dream of living there... where it was always warm and balmy.  Not any more though.  I hate being hot now.  With a vengeance.


TODAY:  I may just do some sewing...  but all I feel like doing is going back to bed!  I'm just so tired lately.  I don't know why.
Probably lack of sleep, lack of exercise, just compounding upon itself and getting worse.
*sigh*


AND BLOODY MOSQUITOES!  They are coming back now that summer is almost here.  I can't sleep if I hear a mosquito! Griffin and I are always eaten alive.

ABOVE: Last night we bought some things that release a puff of insect repellent into the air regularly.  Hopefully they help.

ABOVE:  Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it.


Thanks to a lovely friend in America (Happy Elf Mom) I have had a really GREAT morning!
I watched a little video she put on Facebook yesterday of her home... and I saw how she had her Paper Towels hanging on a hanger under one of her kitchen cupboards.... 
AND I thought "What a great idea".... so I spent three hours this morning looking for a paper towel holder that would attach UNDER a hanging cupboard.


I went to The Home Store in Sylvia Park... No luck there, but I did find this (which I really wanted):

ABOVE:  a dinky little thingee to hang the dishcloth on, inside the sink!  Neat, and it was on SALE.  Even better.

While in Sylvia Park I was browsing the jewellery stores (as ya do)... and saw the next really GREAT buy! :

ABOVE: really cool watches for Brylee and Griffin... for Christmas.  They have the NUMBERS on them, and the minutes too.... excellent for a kid like Griffin who really struggles to read the time.  I am really thrilled to have found them.


So, back to trying to find a paper towel holder... I went to The Home Store, Stevens, The Warehouse, Bunnings, Briscoes, and finally Payless Plastics, where I finally found just what I wanted!   I was about to give up after Payless Plastics, so I was really thrilled to find one.

ABOVE:  Taaa Daaa..... just have to attach it now.  
AND... I am going to reorganise some of the kitchen cupboards too... the corner cupboard where all the plastics and bowls go is driving me friggin nuts...


AND.... 4 hours later.... the kitchen cupboards have been tidied up, shit has been moved around... and I'm now knackered.
The family are going to have fun trying to find stuff now.   lol  


End of day:  a neat day today.  Got heaps done and felt good about it.
A nice evening too... watching telly, then bed.
nite nite.
