Lovely things of loveliness wot I love

Okey dokey, so I got older.  As you can see from this picture, I just turned ninety-two.

Ooh I got good treats.  Firstly, I got my beautiful, lovely, kind, kissable, giggly, did I mention beautiful, girl home!  How good it is to be four again :)

I got some fantastic nail polish treats. Tee hee!

And I can now make my own butter.  OH YEAH BABY!!!!  This little thingamajig is fantastic!  It's so weird.  You put in your cup of cream and start shaking.  Shakety shakety shake, soon you have whipped cream.  Shake shake shake, nothing seems to be moving at all, and then... bam!  A big old lump of butter appears!  You pour out the buttermilk, and then rinse the butter again with water of all things, and then squidge it into the ramekin and Bob's your dairymaid.  How cool is that?

It almost makes up for being ninety-two.

Winter weekends

The last couple of weekends have been settling into a very wintry pattern, with the dark drawing in early... but still plenty of sunshine and time to get out in the garden (Liam) have fun with friends (Seb) and indulge current obsessions (me).

The persimmons are multitudinous and very beautiful, but not very palatable.  The silvereyes disagree with me however, they are having a ball.

Acrylic paint over nail polish is awesome.

The wisteria has been Pruned with a Capital P.

Which leaves plenty of time for DANCING.  Here are Seb and Hamish, Gangnam Style.  The boys have got some serious (-ly cute) moves.
