Wallabies are everywhere. The sudden huge downpours, storms and sunny breaks have flushed them out. Small wallabies, large wallabies, wallabies that have had the willies scared out of them and wallabies that want to stare you down.

The little lizards have foolishly come out as well. They are all trying out for the Cross Breakfast Bowl Channel Swim. Luckily neither Harki nor Peri were interested in some almost Lizard Sushi.

Poor Harki is still limpy. The extreme weather ups and downs are still playing havoc with her hips and knee. The tablets have helped, but she may need some more injections. She is still her usual happy self and wants to play with her toys and go for a walk. They love walking in the rain: and it shows!!

I have renovated Mrs Merryand's dad's waistcoat. Of course it was impossible to match the fabric as we only have The BlackSpot of Doomlight (TM)

I'm also doing some Christmas sewing planning. Yes, almost everything is photographed on my favourite lime green poplin.

Including the Laminaria which is finished but unblocked. I ran out of woool at the very end of the casting off. I needed just two coffee tables' worth. Luckily, but not surprisingly, I had some almost matching greem. Who would have guessed?

I have been tagged twice, I think, to tell 7 weird, strange and unnatural things about myself. I a going to attempt this next time, because have to show the funniest  edible gift. It is an Ungingerbread House, the one I mentioned last time. The one in the photo is my first attempt, I made it this afternoon as a demostration, for MrsDrWho's class, along with Peppermint Fondants (Yum, they are so yummy, and green) My door is in need of a bit of DIY attention and the constrution is a bit wobbly, but I didn't do any of the 'waiting till it set'  part as per the instructions I wrote. it was also impossible to buy any spearmint leaves :-(  But nevertheless, here, for your viewing and eating pleasure and complete with Christmas activity instructions is:

The Ungingerbread House

And because I have been trying to publish since 8-30pm tonight, I gave up Eli Stone for this, the Ungingerbread House recipe etc follows in a new post.  It's either this, or I have to cry. (11-28pm)
