This morning I made a lemon slice ...~
So easy and delicious! The recipe is here on the Arnott's site. The only thing I do differently is process the biscuits to a fine crumb then add the wet ingredients to the processor and whiz until combined - saves on all that hard stirring in.

Kirby has been home this weekend and she had a hankering for some scones today too. My oven is still not fixed (element for fan-forced heating has blown) so I was a bit hesitant to do any baking using normal heat... anyway, they turned out perfectly. Of course, I cheated and used the CWA pre-mix - just had 280mls of water to the packet and voila! Pearler scones!~
We may have been naughty and had them with strawberry jam and cream, but I'm not telling!~
The morning tea was put on for this little visitor - Brax! He is such a dear little boy, always so happy!~
Brianna will be pleased to know that I packed up the remainder of the scones and sent them home with Kirby.

And hot off my needles is this dishcloth - how blessed was I to have just enough cotton left to finish it! I was holding my breath, I can tell you! Can you see my boo-boo? About half way up on the right hand side border, I must have KPKP instead of PKPK! Never mind - homemade doesn't always mean perfection.I picked up some more bamboo cotton yesterday so I am good to go with some new patterns. Once I have knitted these up I will stop - you can only do with so many dishcloths!

I have a rolled chicken roast planned for dinner (now pictured above) - poor Gus has been working for the past 4 days at a vehicle Road Show, showcasing our cars. Kirby and I even helped out yesterday. The weather has been foul, bitterly cold and wet (not so much today) and he and the sales guys have been on their feet for 4 solid days so he will be wrecked when he gets home.~
(Thanks to modern technogy (Iphones) here is a pic of her tyre taken just minutes ago! She messaged me the pictures)Thank goodness for our RAA membership - Kirby got 1 hour down the road towards Adelaide and had a flat tyre. Totally shredded the tyre off the rim! A call to the RAA (which we all have membership to - I won't grizzle about the $340 yearly premium again!) and the guy was there in 30 minutes to change it for her.
~
Here another picture of the tyre ...She was 2 kms out of the next town when it happened. Good to know help is there when we can't get there. She's back on the road as we speak - I'll be very glad when she gets home!

I hope you enjoy the coming week,
Cheers - Joolz
