We love a day off that's for sure... Australia Day is one such instance and many headed for Manly for some salty sea air and a bit of sand-in-the-togs. Dad, Trish and I were happily among the throng, armed with sun cream and boogie boards. In the words of Trish it was "heaven on a stick"... and dad was adament we get photographic evidence to make the pommy rels jealous. So, Janey Waney, Phil, Livi and Robbie, these pics are for you...(!)
I also had the joy of catching up with my dear friend Mira and her husband (who was selling his handmade pens at the Manly market) and daughter who speaks Macedonian and English at the age of 2 (in a 2-year-old sort of way)... She matter-of-factly addressed me as Te Te Marnie (aunty Marnie) which is incredibly cute coming from a bi-lingual 2 year old who can recite her own age and address and knows all her shapes including stars and diamonds...!!
After going home for a power nap, my good friends Mariah and Warren came round for dinner which was my experimental version of Morrocan Lamb Tagine. I borrowed Flanno's tagine to make it authentic and it wasn't bad, but I'm not sure if I'm really into lamb shanks. Might try it with thigh-of-chicken next time...
