Photo a Day Challenge - 25.3.3028 - What I did today.

When we first moved in here, almost 47 years ago... it was very quiet in the evenings even the local shops shut up at 5pm during the week, Noon on Saturdays and closed Sunday!  Now those shops are open all hours with many fabulous cafe's and restaurants keeping us well fed, if we want it that is :-)  but of course we can't hear any noise from up there, anyway...

During the weekend we can now hear the happy sounds of young people playing ball games up at the new Sports field, they have lights up there now as well.

Last night we went to bed early and could hear the last claps and cheers of a Soccer game, then this morning we were woken with the happy chatter of cyclists as they did their run in the Bobbin Head Cycle Classic... some of these cyclists were doing the 27km, 57km, 80km and even 104km... Yikes!

The event called the 'Bobbo', is organized every year by volunteers and Rotary, they raise money for many different Charities with Lifeline receiving 50%. 

I love hearing these cyclists chatting away as they speed past our home, they sound so positive and happy and they are out there doing it!!

So this morning I took a couple of photos!




I stole this photo from the website!

What does one do on a cool, wet and grey morning just after one has enjoyed 30 minutes of Physio??

 Head up to Twenty 74 for Breakfast that's what!   Delicious Eggs Benedict for me!
David went for the Spanish Omelette...

But look kids... David didn't finish his!

I did though  :-)  and my freshly made Apple Carrot & Ginger Juice.
One of the things I really enjoy about eating up at our local shops is the people you see...  Simon, Cheryl, Rhonda and Helen today it was.

Love, Love just love this song, 'Out There' from the Hunchback of Notre-Dame Musical... listen to the words.

  
This wonderful video came up on Facebook earlier this month, I shared it there but couldn't share it to my blog for my friends who aren't on FB.  So... today I played it on my computer and filmed it with my camera  :-)    Below is what was on the FB page.

Morning Brew is with Tomos Griffiths and 3 others.

It's lovely to have a helper when I'm making Gwilym's favourite Stuffed Italian Loaf.

 First of all we have to cut the top off the Cob loaf, then we carefully pull out all the inside leaving the crust in one piece,  Elodie ate a lot of this soft crumbly bread.

Then we have to coat the crust with a mix of Cream Cheese and Dill...





Then we stuff the Cob with slices of grilled Aubergine, Zucchini, Mushroom, Fennel, Ham, Salami, Cheese and Baby Spinach Leaves.
I forgot to take a photo of our finished lunch but here's one I took last time I made this Delicious!


 The boys enjoyed a bush walk then a dip in the pool!  T

Then time to relaz!

My 'Cow' Friends.

The Cows are an online group of 12 which formed about 18 years ago.  We all met through the Southern Cross Quilters and we live in different States of Australia, I have met everyone of us, some I see on a regular basis, some I've only met up with once... but we chat online on a regular basis and enjoy hearing what each of our families are up to, our travels and whatever we are making, it's a wonderful group of close online friends.
 
We've done a couple of Block Swaps over the years, here's my Cow Birthday Swap for 2002.  I sent each 'Cow' a piece of my chosen background fabric, they made a block or two then I put them together with some blocks of mind.

  I love this quilt it's on my bed every summer!  Just perfect it is and it makes me happy.

 Blocks made by Bonnie.

 Blocks made by Cori.

  Blocks made by Di.

 Blocks made by Dy.

 Blocks made by Fran.

 Blocks made by Kerry.

  Blocks made by Liz.

 Blocks made by Michelle.

 Blocks made by Ruth.

 Blocks made by Stephanie.

Below are the blocks that I made.




The finished Quilt using all the above blocks...  I just love this quilt!

When looking at all these 'paper' photos from 16 years ago I found a note reminding me to put these Cows Amish blocks together... Gosh!  I had forgotten about these.  Oh well... one day :-)

Good Night and Hello Morning!

Most nights our friend the Huntsman is there to wish us a peaceful night promising that they will eat any mozzies or bugs that may come near us while we sleep... so grateful to our Hunstmen we are.


Most mornings this is what awakes me... how beautiful!
