School fete weekend



My kitchen was a biscotti factory on Tuesday...
It was a Welshcake factory this evening...

A few weeks ago it was a jam making factory...

I'm bushed!

It's school fete tomorrow and whilst I have been busy making, baking and preparing, Sibs has been getting herself  beyond excited. You see, this year she will be tall enough to go on all the rides - even the scary ones!

We've gone through the rules of the day a few times - no leaving the school grounds, one can of fizzy drink only, not too many sweets etc, etc but all she can talk about is 'The Dominator' -
which apparently is THE ride of the  moment.
School fetes are massive operations here - full blown fairground rides massive!

After the craziness of a full day at the fete we will be celebrating Mother's Day on Sunday.

I have been instructed to be ready to go out at 9.45am.
Sibs has been making secretive phone calls this week and has organised something that I don't know about. Then we are meeting some friends for a late lunch before heading off for a mother and daughter outing to watch the Queensland Reds rugby in the afternoon.

It's going to be a bit busy I think...!
I'm just catching a minute with a quiet cuppa and a welshcake before heading up the wooden hill to bed.

These two have made themselves quite comfortable in my bed this evening.
Move over...I'm on my way.


Happy weekend.
