Random things

Family is a Big thing, I love my family and its the thing I miss the most, its the thing that will make me sad, make me laugh & make me cry, being so far away, so when my brother made a quick trip to Ballarat from America I really wanted to go & get a hug. Paul was fantastic and happily sent me off to catch up with the kids, Ben & Freddy, & my dad.












This is my brother, he got ALL the nerdy clever brain cells but he makes good use of them & does all this mind blowing brainy stuff I don't even begin to understand. but we even out as neither of us can spell for peanuts which is a shocker for having a school teacher as a mum!! We both love photography & we both came a long way get this shot but it was fabulous to see him so hopefully not so many years till next time !!!

And Totally loved seeing my friends, surprised the socks of everyone! Had the best weekend will live on the memories now for awhile.

So back in Emerald Its been HOT, 24 at 6 in the morning you know your in for a hot one!




That little lightning thunder symbol was our hope for some rain we spent the whole weekend
Waiting..........




It looked like rain.......,Its soooooo muggy, my hair is frizzy, the frogs are barking. But we are still waiting! It hasn't rained here in Emerald since March its been a long wait and things are very dry & thirsty, this was in the newspaper




Chickpea dust is very flammable with high temperatures its not a good mix as this poor farmer loses his header.

People ask me is there things I miss not living in a big city?? And its the little things that come up that I go yeah Emerald really could do with....... And this week its ICECUBE trays!!! How hard can it be??!! Well obviously there is a high mortality rate of trays in Emerald (must be all that smashing on to kitchen benches) because only one place sells them and they are those big size blocks and we were after small little blocks(or round). Nope it's not going to happen so we'll keep having a smashing good time & keep our eyes peeled for ice cube trays!!!!!!

But look what we did find......




Cheese from the Great Ocean Road......in Emerald!!! We were so excited -- we bought two blocks! And its very yummy!
