Catching up

After a busy weekend I needed to catch up on neglected jobs 

Having Ana two days in a row I didn’t bother to clean the toy room. 

So today it’s gone from this 




To this. I need to vacuum and now it will be much easier 



It’s a beautiful sunny, but not hot? Day 




Bed was stripped and remade with linen from the cupboard. 

Meanwhile I’ve hung it under the back veranda 

I also took the comforter from the spare bed and washed that. Bella sleeps on it and it can get furry 

I also picked up in the spare room as well. Things were just getting dumped in there to be dealt with later 



I did a quick run to the supermarket. I didn’t buy any meat and still it came in over $200. 

I did have to stock up on pet food, and some cleaning products but still. 

I have Ana one of these and she loved it. 
Unfortunately buying it like this works out to be a tad expensive 




I bought this instead. I’ll fill it with cheese, cabana, rice biscuits, tiny tomatoes, or whatever I have at the time 

I hope she will like it just as much
Grandma can also slip healthy snacks in  like carrot sticks and sultanas 




While away I was forever filling my water bottle. 
One of these ladies had one of these. It lasted way longer   So today I got one.  It’s not a fancy one from the camping store, but I’m sure it will work just fine  

I made sure the opening was large so I could fill it with ice so my drink will stay cool 




Finally I found some wagon wheels hot cross buns. 
Now in my youth I did like those chocolate biscuits called wagon wheels. I did a taste test, you know because I’m selfless that way, and it does taste like a wagon wheel 



Shopping has been packed away 
I’m have a little rest and then I start vacuuming. 

This afternoon I plan to just sit and knit. 
By then I would have earned it.

    1. They have been available since Boxing Day here. Commercialisation at its best

  2. The snack box is a wonderful Grandma idea. All sorts of tasty treats. Ana will love it.
    Wagon wheel hotcross buns what else will they think up. Yum yum!
    I must make a trial run of hotcross buns. Wish I could buy them! I think I might put Nutella in them this year 😁
    Everything has suddenly got so expensive here. For the first time in the supermarket I looked at prices and weights. And cheese has gone sky high. Lucky feta is still cheap

    1. It’s criminal. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s going to get any better soon.
      Feta has to be cheap. Or else the Greeks would rise up as one and start the revolution. Me included

    1. In years gone by I’d make them myself. That’s definitely over. Especially with the new varieties they make now.
