greetings from the south cost

Hi all,
What a lovely weekend Hasi and I had in Canberra with Annie and the girls.
A huge amount of eating, including second breakfast on Saturday, high tea at the Burberry Hotel, an Indian feast for Saturday dinner and brunch at the HA Ha on sunday morning, overlooking the Lake. As well as lots of Eurovision, and just hanging out with those lovelies, and of course Oscar and Brindie. (black tshirt still covered in dog hair after washing it. What are the tips for getting rid of dog hair on clothes??)
I really wasn't so impressed with Eurovision this year. Really seems to be losing its kitsch factor, and where the hell were the wind machines. Seldom a hair out of place, and motionless. This is not the Eurovision I know and love.
However we did have the novelty of score and comment cards this year, which were fun.

Also lovely to sit around the oven in the garden in the evening and sip champagne, celebrating finally, Annie and myself buying tickets to visit Moo this year!!

Today I'm planning to make some trousers. However I'm nervous about cutting into the beautiful, (and expensive) material I bought to make them, so keep getting side tracked with doing something else. This blog included.
Ok so I wil ltake the washing off the line and get started.
Drying washing is a hassle in winter. If you leave it on the line, for only a few minutes too long, then it is already damp
I'm not sure if its just dad and me usng windows ten on our computers, but it is a pain in the arse. A slight touch of something can change the font size from 100%, to 3335% and back to 50% in a few seconds. It dries me crazy.
Enough, washing in, and cut fabric...wish me luck
Love to all, Zak
