My new play thing.

G'day. I have recently bought myself this Tefal Fresh Express. It's great for slicing certain vegetables, like zucchini, carrots, cucumber etc   Also good for grating chocolate, nuts and Parmesan cheese, though I am yet to try these last three. I made a coleslaw with it a few nights ago and found it fast and easy to use. I also love the fact that it is neat and compact. All the little cones fit inside one another when not in use and it doesn't take up much room in the cupboard. And don't you just love the fabulous red color ? No doubt I will have many happy hours of fun with it.  Oh dear, I must get a life!!!

We are supposed to be in the height of our summer here, but you would never know it. The last few days have been really cold where I live. I had to put the electric blanket on to warm the bed the other night. I have heard though, that the next couple of months are supposed to be stinking hot. But, time will tell, you would never think that at the moment. I do hope that prediction is wrong as I hate the heat with a passion.

I have been walking to and from work now and am really enjoying it. The walk of a morning is great, but walking home is a different ball game. It's hard after being on my feet most of the day and then the nearly 4 klm trek home. But, I am proud of myself that I am managing it and am already feeling better for it. I only hope that it shows up on the scales at the next WW meeting. I do have the option of getting a bus home and any number of workmates have offered to drive me. If it's going to be a really hot day, or wet and windy, one of those options will be taken advantage of.

Hubby is out in the garage endearing himself to the neighbours, banging and bashing at something. I am staying inside, well out of the fray, he is really making a ruckus.  The neighbours must just shake their heads and wonder what on earth they did to deserve us in their midst. He has been working on one of the  classic cars that we have, so hopefully the banging and bashing is not him taking his temper out on the poor helpless vehicle. We are attending a car club run at Easter to another Australian state and the car has to be ready to make the long trip. All that needed doing was sanding the body down and re spraying it, which hubby will do himself, but, I am sure that the use of hammers is not needed in regard to that !!!

Take care. Liz...
