I am having some friends over for lunch today, with my mum & dad...
flowers at the minute are NOT too good re heat/floods etc..But i did pick up some lovely deep purple dahlias, which i mixed with some yellow gerberas for a bit of fun re the table decoration... (all from COLES!~~)..
So i have been busy cooking....
lasagne is in the oven ready to go..with homemade garlic bread...
(I have to admit I have cheated on the chips from the freezer section of the supermarket...
ALAS that is my ONLY SIN)..!!!
Homemade lamingtons...fruit salad platter...greek style salad & a bean/pea/mint salad...
My dad was THE ELDEST competitor in the WORLD's LARGEST ocean swimming event yesterday, swimming 1.2 kms in 25 minutes...(Lorne pier to Pub swim)..
there were 4200 COMPETITORS...~~~~~
Dad made the news!!~~ & i have a picture of him today reading about himself in the SUNDAY paper!!~~ lol..
(he even went swimming again this morning at his local pool & swam 1 kilometre)...
I am tired just typing about it all...let alone SWIMMING IT~~~~ & at 87 yo to boot~~
Sooty..my 12 yo poodle.. (now totally blind)..just "hanging" around!!~~
Anyway...off to put the oven on....
hope you all have a wonderful creative/productive week...

Hi Andrea, gotta love your dad! Puts me to shame that's for sure. All your food pics have made me so hungry as I haven't had lunch yet! It all looks so yummy.. wonder what I've got in the fridge?? The flowers look pretty too, I know what you mean about the heat and the rain, poor plants don't know whether it's summer or winter. Ok gotta go get something to eat.. take care, Maryann
You have been knitting, I have been sewing! Must be something in the air or just the rain and cold!!! :)
Your Dad does not look 87 does he? Good on him.
