venetia_sassyThere'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!

What a neat way to cook chicken. *saves*
I'm just like you. I MUCH prefer having to put on an extra sweater instead of melting from the heat.

Date: 2011-11-23 02:32 pm (UTC)We watched a nature documentary tonight and wow, the picture quality is fabulous! And I've (mostly) got the DVD and VCR working (with minimal help from the user manual, I might add.)
It's so simple but good. We had it again tonight with beans, snowpeas and carrot. Nice.
Exactly! The problem with summer is that you can take off all your clothes and still be overheated (at which point I start wanting to strip off my skin which is ... not a good idea.)

Back when I was in high school, I'd take naps when I got home ('cause I used to stay up til all hours of night and then had to go to class, etc.) Occasionally, I'd wake up in darkness and would panic thinking that my parents had let me sleep through the next day. *shakes head at self*
