Hello! 

Thanks for the chair love and the blog love.  I wasn’t fishing for compliments but it’s nice to know that some of you out there like my rambling…thanks especially to Katie…I am glad you like what I write    (Oh and re the achilles, it is still fairly not good…but I can walk with only a slight limp…as long as I don’t put too much pressure on it, the pain is gone though…time I guess is the answer.) 

Today I am going along the Soule Mama route where one blogs a picture on Friday from the week and not much else.  Though I couldn’t quite adhere to the bit where you aren’t supposed to talk, or write, or ramble…

This was it for me this week….a corner of the kitchen, where I’ve done a lot of cooking for the freezer, hung out here with Mr BC drinking beer trying to finalize our plans for Christmas and where I sat today with a coffee and a laptop, emailing my friend lg and spent way too much time scheming no-bake baking tomorrow..

 This tiny budget nothing little kitchen, is not speical if you are not me….so far from perfect…no shiny marble, no super-duper fittings, no minimalist sparkly chrome…but is a small square of things about us….rammed full of shelving, random things and vintage finds…strewn with untidy stools to sit on though they don’t really fit….where stuff just happens, the place that when we first arrived here not quite over-the-moon with it provided the rhythm that is just kitchen pottering..that has made our first Aussie place feel like home….

…the place where one can surreptitiously stash new additions from treasure hunts that somehow escape your husband’s anti-crapola-gathering radar….& note the vintage scissors on the hook, the little wooden box, the white dish, oh and of course the enamel pot…

For that I am grateful.

Catch ya later beach chicks, I hope you enjoy the weekend..for me it will be filled with lemon slice non-baking, soaking up a surfing festival and oh of course, playing with kitchenalia…wonder what you’ll be diggin?  Whatever you do have one for me
