Hello!!
How was your weekend?
I thought our markets were starting back up today so went down for a look – Nope. Not a soul or a stall in sight!
Never mind. Probs for the best. Tasmania hasn’t had any new covid 19 cases for weeks now but Australias numbers are on the rise a bit fast.
The Victorians were being naughty – sadly lots of suburbs have been put back into lockdown and their travel out of the state limited.
I saw something rather funny – a request for Queenslanders not to smuggle Victorians into their state !!! If we were looking from the past into the future and seeing that request… what on earth might we think was going on???
And all my friends from the US – please please please keep a low profile and keep yourselves as safe as possible! Its alarming watching the number of new cases skyrocket!! š
Today… after the non-market I came back home and made use of the three overripe bananas I was saving.
They are now cake!
Jeff has been practicing his handwriting skills in a new notebook I bought to put all my recipes in!
That has been on my ‘gunna’ list for ever and ever.
I found this sweet notebook – then gave Jeff a job!
I like the way the pages have little flowers or butterflies too…
After finishing the banana cake, I had a go at making passionfruit butter!!
I’ve not done it before so I’ll test it out on my toast tomorrow morning and if its ok I’ll get Jeff to add the recipe to the book and share it with you!
I think its basically lemon butter with a passionfruit twist!
I made up some lye and started a new soap – bit of an experiment.
I glued myself to youtube the other night getting new ideas š
If all goes to plan the weird thing below should turn out to be polka-dot soap.
And I am pleased to report that all our clothes came down off the rack this morning nice and dry!
Still super excited so did some more laundry.
I did put them on the line for a couple of hours of sunshine before hoisting them…
Still have that folding and putting away issue to sort out…
Hope your weekend was amazing and Happy Fourth of July to my friends in the US!! (Possibly slightly late but the thought was there!)
Cheers!
Good morning?to you. Your new clothesline setup is super what a challenge completed. Hope your polka dot soap is a success Iām sure it will be. The numbers game with virus is sooo rough!! Here in Ga we are seemingly sky rocketing. Football team at Clemson was unreal seems about 30 positives with no symptoms!!!hope you have a great week!!! Love from Ga
Hi Linda! Thanks and I will pass on your message to Jeff about his handwriting š
Oh yes – just loving the new clothes line! I feel keen to do more laundry now haha
Wow – the numbers are pretty scary! You keep safe and healthy!!! xx
I love your new suspension clothes lines perfect for both cooler and hotter times of the year. It may help with allergies since the pollen will not fall on you clean laundry. I know you love your gardening and I saw this and though wow this is something up for the garden https://www.permaculturenews.org/2020/07/03/the-biomass-belt-revisited/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-biomass-belt-revisited&mc_cid=96c81ec6fa&mc_eid=5b623613c4
Hi!! Yes – loving the new hoist completely already!! Luckily we don’t have pollen allergy issues – so I do love my sun-line dried clothes/sheets! But this hoist for winter is a dream!!
Thanks heaps for the link. I’ve just had a skim read through it. Fabulous stuff. I love permaculture although I am not that knowledgeable.
There is a really great lady in Hobart that does courses… I’d like to attend one one day!!
Hope your week has started well!! š
