Hello

Red Instead…

March 26, 2009



Here’s what we’ve been doing…

I’ve been reading this very great book ‘Grow Your Own, Eat Your Own‘ by Bob Flowerdew.

I’ve been pinning things on my pinboard -like the Mario‘s postcard. We went to Mario’s this morning for breakfast. I’ve had the flu for a week and been soldiering on – and I felt crappy this morning, so it was off to Mario’s for eggs and bacon for me. Whilst we were there, Red Symons walked in and had a coffee. After my ABC Canberra radio interview yesterday, when I didn’t even run into Stubbsy down at ABC Southbank, I thought it was funny that I bumped into Red Instead! Just my luck! But contrary to popular opinion, I do LOVE listening to Red on the ABC, so go figure!

That’s Ari’s embroidery from Brown Owls on Monday night – courtesy of a Sublime Stitching transfer – go Ari!

And there are our celery plants meeting our spring onion plants!

And also – the Betty Crocker ‘Good and Easy Cookbook’ and two Hamlyn All-Colour Paperbacks ‘Animal Migration’ and ‘Seashells’.

That’s what we’ve been doing. And being sick. And filling up the shop with good stuff. And selling a few early copies of our book! What have you been doing, I wonder?!

    Hey Miss, I’ve been collecting those Hamlyn books, so far we have Victoriana and History of Glass. OK that doesn’t sound like much of a collection, but it’s a beginning!

    Oh Mario’s! I spent many hours there during my university years. And Rhumbarella. Too far to pop into from Clacton on Sea, alas. You live in a lovely part of the world Pip, but then so do I !
