I think these are chipmunk footprints:


The only snowman I managed to make.  He has no arms and is concerned.  His hat is a sock!


A bit of a change in temperature

Mamma Mia!

How close did Grace get to Colin at the Mamma Mia premiere at Melbourne Central this week?

OK, maybe not that close. But close enough to take this with her very own camera:

And the lovely Meryl as well, of course.

More random photos of food

What I like most about autumn is that it's quince season, and what I like most about quince season is that you can have a bowl of quinces prettying up the house.

Meanwhile, it's been a while since I updated this blog, but we've eaten a lot of food during that time, believe it or not. When we got back from Malaysia, we salved our grief at no more roti canai by frying up some zucchini flowers, making some potato and mint ravioli and a big bowl of lentil soup. The lentil soup was a startling green and absolutely delicious, but the photo looked godawful, so it's not pictured here.


Fresh pistachio season also came and went! I bled from under the fingernails to enjoy it, but it was so lovely. We made some into ice cream (mm!) but the rest was just scoffed.



And I think this was how we dealt with a surfeit of watermelon:

And boy, I love roasting chicken.
