Father's Day and Spring!
The Girl recently discovered pinterest, and made good use of it to whip up Father's Day confectionary. Mini cherry ripe bars, tiny teddies and the new Smarties with natural food coloring.
Then she made these up herself: UFOs
Wagon wheel biscuits, topped with marshmallows slathered in melted chocolate, and more Smarties. Very low calorie. I keep telling her she should go in for children's party catering...
On Father's Day The Boy took his dad to play golf, with a family friend and his son as well. Meanwhile, all the girls of the two families, and some more who dropped in, all had a girlie afternoon tea with homemade treats. It was a lovely Father's Day all round, and a plan highly to be recommended.
Hope all you Australians were nice to your dads because it was Father's Day, and everyone else was nice to their dads because you are all lovely people.
Oh, and happy Spring! There are daffodils! And fruit blossom! And all the snails are rejoicing and eating all the lovely tender green leaves in the vegie garden. But only until I put my Gumboots of Death on. Then there will be no more mollusc rejoicing going on...

Fran, we had a duck once. It thought it was a human, and perched continuously on the verandah, quacking mournfully at us through the window, and pooping.
Trying to keep up with the housekeeping. It's a hard road to hoe, Jo, but I'm doing my best!

About the hoeing... you do know that vacuum cleaners are easier on the carpet? Let me know what routine you work out - or if you decide not to have one!
Dearest Heather, are you still writing your blog for invited readers? If so, do please invite me!
Lynda, it's an unseasonal 21C here today, and Posy thinks she might expire from heat exhaustion!
Jessie, I think the world would be so much better if we shared our children around a bit more. Great for the borrower and the lender! Takes a village...
and yes the warm spring weather is lovely - but have you seen tuesday's forecast? is it as bad for launie?!
e, eek, just checked the paper! The gardening disaster potential of Tasmania's spring weather is legendary. Sigh. Back to thermals, and hoping the spring blossom doesn't snap freeze...
