Eggs Benedict with a capsicum jam

Breakfast Eggs Benedict this morning. I only make it maybe once or twice a year now.

The costs to make are getting up there.

It makes me appreciate eggs Benedict from a café more. Especially when they have a good hollandaise.

Tomatoes are in and the fruit mix is soaking in rum, ready for Xmas cake making tomorrow

I'm nailing the labour weekend tasks.

No problems with sticking but I have returned symptoms and mentioned to my Dr last week.She suggested upping dose but seen no change, probably as I'm still using the same patches. I will see my pharmacy tomorrow about my next prescription. Fingers crossed.

Do it. You wont regret it.

I luv my t rex outfit.. its in a bag always 'ready to go' should the need arise.

The latest Gender Attitudes Survey makes depressing reading for those concerned about gender equality. The view that equality has gone too far is strongest among men aged 18-34.

Tui drinking the nectar from my cherry tree. In full white blossom.

Sharing my bright spot in a crazy work day.

I snapped this picture at lunch time. I have 3 tuis that have taken up residence in my 1/4 acre suburban garden and on occasion 2 wood pigeons too.

When we moved here there were no trees.

Ps. This ornamental cherry tree was self seeded.

I was known as tx most of my work life except for now (strangely) and benechix is short hand for Eggs Benedict chick.

I made an awful lot of them over 10 years. Now it's just something I might do for a special occasion for family and friends.

Redundancy is a closing chapter.

Be kind to yourself and when you are ready there will be great new adventures.

You won't look back

Blue skies warm weather at the beach.

Great day in the outdoors.

I support the women and children of Gaza.

I don't support the men in suits who tell us they know better.

They don't speak for me.

Me too. Definitely booking time to watch it again.

I have a new oven and have the same problem

First attempts 2 cushions....(not great at sewing) but as these will be gifts I think I will be forgiven for any wonky lines. 🇳🇿🧵🧶

I know what you mean. They make life so much richer.

Pocket rocket Frankie is personality plus. She has us trained. 😍

I feel the feels. Watched both sisters have 2 weddings each. Pretty dresses and dancing fun. I'm too many years with same man and we just never got there. Why spoil a good thing. ( I still threaten it from time to time).

An anniversary would be nice.

Last week I had a nice long weekend out of town with my sister and her cute kids. I was home only one day and awoke sick with a lurgy.

Good news:
The weekend is here soon.
It's not covid.
I can wfh

Bad news:
I think I'm allergic to children.
It happens every time I visit.
I suck as a patient

Tui on a red bird feeder in a suburban garden.

Popped home at lunch. To my delight, my suburan garden had a visitor.

Managed to get a quick photo which was an added bonus.

I used teams to record a meeting today, and the transcript had written "snotty virus escapes..." No one sneezed, and we were not discussing anything to do with health. I have no idea what that is meant to say.

Op shop travels today with friends. I now am now adding felting to my list of hobbies and I found some curtain fabric samples perfect for sewing patchwork cushions.

Not sure where I'm going to find the time but I had fun shopping.

So sorry for your loss

Beautiful day to spend in the garden with my eager helper.

Frankie will be keen to help and I am sure she will find new treasures to bring inside when im not looking🐕🇳🇿

Happy birthday 🎂

It's amazing how far the dough will stretch. Just needs that time in the fridge.

👋 I'm owning it.

This coffee was what I had in my cafe. I wanted to share and the recipes are a couple I used on the job daily. (Sorry if they are vague), but you make beautiful bread and thought you might be up for a challenge.

The art print is one of my mums' works.

So glad you like.
