Time Off

 It's a long weekend here. I haven't done much crafting, barely made a start on the sock I dyed wool for during the week. We watched some sport - rugby on a big screen and horse jumping for real. On Saturday I helped man a stall at a market to raise funds to support seniors in the community. We didn't sell much but it was good publicity. The raffle was very successful. Looks like a good route to people's pockets! I read a library book on Sunday, Ladder of Years by Anne Tyler. Anne Tyler is one of my favourite authors. I was really lazy on Sunday because we had a braai in the afternoon and Jack did all the cooking. Yesterday I cooked up tomatoes with onion for the freezer. Today I've made date loaf and coffee biscuits to fill the tins. But this afternoon I must get back to my sewing machine and make some bath puppets. The next market is on the 20th. I have no puppets in stock and need to make 10 or so before then. 


What's a post without pictures?  This is the date loaf, cooling after coming out of the oven.

  2. Had to look up what a braai is. That sounds like a lot of good fun and food!

    1. I did mean to put barbecue in brackets, but forgot. When I thought of it again, I decided it would be easy enough to look up!

  3. This looks yummmy and scrumptious! Wonder if I've ever read Anne Tyler - will look her up
