Time to take Tea and Toast

I wish I could say that the weather outside was dark and gloomy.

This being the perfect setting for a tea & toast fest...

 But alas - the sun is all "shiny shiny" and the clouds are....um...gone.

I realise that, for many, this would appear to be perfect Autumn weather. I will concede that Perth is just stunning on a bright and blue skied day, however we need the rain. DESPERATELY!

So to some how summon the clouds, the cooler weather, the puddles and the rainbows,

I drink tea.

Copious bladder taunting amounts.

Not just any tea.

Earl Grey from T2

Teamed with hot, buttery, marma-laden (new word) toast.

This weekend Hubby and I plan to love our garden (would've been so good to do this with showers to help soften the soil, Sigh/Sulk) and hopefully put some bits and pieces in the ground. I am setting the alarm for a garage sale (just up the road) and my little man has a sleep over planned for Saturday evening (school has just broken up for Easter) Perhaps I can twist my Culinary Knight in Shiny Apron to cook up a pasta, paella or some such. Either way I'm sure a delicious bottle of red has been set aside.

At least the evenings have been cooler. Great for walking the pooch and outside showers - usually extra long showers since the dash twixt shower to towel to robe can be quite goosebumby!!

 Here are some of my Winter Wishes:

I hope to start a bigger vegie patch

I hope to get chickens (soon)

I hope to train for a 12km marathon (held in August)

I hope to be more creative

I hope the BBC fund a few new period dramas (soon)

I hope to master the art of a MOIST cake

I hope read several great books

I hope T2 start selling their Earl Grey Royale in bigger tins(soon)

I hope to master knitting

I hope to master sewing

I hope it rains (SOON!)

I hope I find the time to do even three of these things!!??

Happy weekend to you all!
