I wasn't going to write tonight as after a day in the office I didn't have anything to write but then something very strange happened this evening. The girls had announced that they wanted Macaroni Cheese for supper this morning (I had a vegetable pie on my list then remebered we ate that last week). At 5.30pm I told Harriette she was cooking and... she did. Not only that but as they went along A and H did the washing up. Feeling redundant (I am NOT complaining) I went outside to move a very overgrown camillia from outside the cottage. I came back to not only a very tasty MC but they had made 'Mommy a special pudding', melted Energy chocolate (dark choc) with fresh cream to make a sauce to go on ice cream. I suspect the motivation (as opposed to rotovation) was their own taste buds but it was very nice. The cherry on the cake was they did all this without arguing. There is a God after all!!!!
Have discovered Brook Fraser. Apparently she's (world?) famous in NZ but I have just heard her on the radio doing a programme. Very Joni Mitchell-ish and has been writing her own stuff since she was at school. I may jolly into town tomorrow to buy a CD.
Fudge and Rowan have moo-ed frantically today at the sight of anything on 2 legs expecting milk. Poor things. Still, they are tucking into the Mooslee now which is great.
Very sad news from the UK that friends are separating after decades of happy marriage. I thought they were stuck with super-glue. Our thoughts are with them, even though it is very amicable.
