If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.

Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Look what I found when planning dinner recently chitting (sprouting) potatoes. Will I cut those sections and plant them in hopes of growing my own? You betcha! We'll see what happens this time. pulled a bag of frozen green beans from the freezer recently and discovered I hadn't properly sealed it after the previous use. Beans everywhere! I rescued those caught in the freezer basket, but the floor ones had to be tossed because...

  Saturday January 31st, from today's newspaper: Port Augusta reached 50C yesterday, (Jan 30th) that's 122F for all you northeners above the Equator. Today is a tad cooler but with much cloud cover creating the muggy effect we all know and hate.  Possibly the beaches will be crowded and hopefully all persons there are throwing bucket loads of sunscreen over each other.
