Here's a (belated) week of photos...

Day 92:


Food from a kitchen tea!

You can see here butterfly cakes, brownies, caramel slice, and fairy bread. We also had cucumber sandwiches, salmon sandwiches, cheese, dips, and about a zillion slices. We're still using up leftovers.



Day 93:


A large selection of Latin textbooks (although not all of them). I had just finished the Cambridge Latin Course book 2, and was feeling very proud...



Day 94:


These people stand around in the middle of the city.

I walk past them every day, and usually there's at least one tourist taking a photo of the funky statues. So, on Monday, I decided it was my turn to be touristy.



Day 95:


Two cats. Sulking because I wouldn't let them go outside.

I keep trying to explain that I have to go to work, to earn money for more cat bikkies, but for some reason they don't think that's a good enough excuse.



Day 96:


I was waiting outside a train station for a meeting, and saw lots of funky gum trees across the street.

I love gum trees. They're so twisty and exciting. If I ever moved overseas, I think they're one of the things I'd miss the most.



Day 97:


My housemate made bread.

It was slightly too large for the breadmaker.



Day 98:


The campsite I was staying at over the weekend is right near the beach. Accordingly, they have decorated their whole dining room with a nautical theme.

For some reason, the big glass ball on the left-hand side has a tiny polar bear figurine inside it - I have no idea why.

That was amazing food. And amazing bread, if I do say so myself ;-)

I like day 94 - that's a really well-done photo :-)

I covet that bread.

I like the funky statues - I'd be one of the tourists with a camera! The gum trees are rather beautiful - I can see why you'd miss them - ad the caramel slices look exceedingly yummy.

Ooh. Would you be willing to share a recipe for the caramel slices? They look heavenly.

Here. :)

OMG YOUR TEA PARTY. I am so hungry right now! FOR DELICIOUSNESS.

And your Latin books make me happy. I own many of those! Including Harrius Potter et Lapis Philosopheri (which is written to a pretty high reading level, tbh). Of note: my copies of the first four books were all sent to me by an Australian friend back in 2001, so I have the same copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as you do, too!

I ate fairy bread the other day! Yay!

[deird1]

YAY. :D

92: Awesome-looking Kitchen Tea! I hope you all ate far too much of it. :-)

96: No gum trees? Move to California, have all the gums you like. They're a pest there! I loved seeing them there, locals all grumbled... :-D

97: Ooh, savoury bread? Breadmakers are such handy things!

98: 'Big glass ball' = fishing float. The polar bear probably got stuck while hitching a lift.... :-p
