Keeping Cool...

We've been lucky with a beautiful cool sea breeze over the last week.  Today, however, is just plain stinking hot! So we're all keeping cool indoors today with some movies, quiet play & relaxation.  While everyone is so peacefully occupied I'm going to catch up on some things that have fallen by the wayside over the last couple of weeks...
Finishing off a neck warmer for a special little friend about to turn 6.  Not quite the weather for it now but I hope she loves it when the time comes...

Our vegie garden is thriving with all this heat.  The tomatoes have taken over & we can barely get past them to tend to everything else.  When it cools down later we'll go in & take out the rest of our gorgeous beetroot.  Hubby made a delicious beetroot risotto on the weekend, we'll probably pickle the rest...

The cherry tomatoes on the deck are a treat too.  I love how the kids just pick them off to eat as they run past.  I'll try to salvage these to throw in a salad tonight...

Then hopefully a cool southerly will blow & we'll park it out here with a refreshing G&T...aaahhh my favourite time of day....here's hoping anyway!

  1. If you got that breeze this evening can you send some my way. It is still stinking hot out there. Sounds like you had a lovely restful day and hopefully you caught up with a few things.
