putting a little sparkle into my job

You might have noticed I haven't been visiting much for a couple of days. My internet connection has been atrocious, or completely absent , depending on what time of day I choose to try connecting. Anyway, I'm here now and I shall make the most of it while I'm able to. At work, over the years, we have been given assorted Christmas themed items of clothing to wear during December.  Caps, (twice), aprons, (once), t-shirts, (every year since).

The crust is beautifully crunchy, crusty you might say, while the bread is soft and look at all those yummy walnuts. Slathered with real butter, (not that margarine you see on the side), this is a lovely snack with a cup of coffee. Further news from Adelaide.... we've gone back to winter weat...
