Yes!!!

There's going to be an MCR show in Sydney on January 27! I was hoping it might be on the 28th so I could rest in between ... but I will definitely be getting a ticket for that. If it turns out that I'm not well enough to do both, I'm sure I can find someone who wants the BDO ticket.

In other news, we have a fridge! It's deeper than our old one and it's brushed metal rather than white so whenever I walk into the kitchen I'm taken by surprise by this hulking grey shadow.

And we have a tv! The manual seemed intent on confusing me, but I got it set up, all the channels working, the picture quality is fabulous - and I have no idea how to connect the DVD player or the VCR. I thought I'd followed the directions ... I'll try again tomorrow.

Lemon Chicken en Papillote is a great way to cook chicken breasts so they stay juicy and tender. I added a sliced carrot and two zucchinis to the packages. Very simple and tasty.

Nectarines are in season and they are delicious. I used not to like stone fruits (texture) and I'm still not keen on peaches but nectarines. Mmm.

It was so dark when I got up this afternoon, I almost thought I'd slept until sunset. No, it was just prelude to a downpour. And tonight I'm wearing trackpants and a jumper. I didn't think I'd be wearing those again this year!

Confused by our weather? Yeah, me too. But I like this a lot better than the heat!
