Friday Fun

Hi everyone,

This morning I made a quick trip to the shops so I can settle in for the weekend.  Sounds like it could be eventful here! The local paper predicts the Brisbane area could get up to 300mm of rain by Monday.  I still have to translate to inches to "get it". WOW.  That is nearly 12 inches.  Flooding is not a worry for my home, but I know it will be a rough weekend for plenty of other people.  Here is hoping that the forecast is wrong!!

At last, I signed up for OPAM 2013. I've been watching this for a couple of years, but I didn't have a blog, so I was not able to join in.  I signed up today so now I just have to work out how to post my list.  Thanks to the ladies that give their time to sort all this out. 



Next, I signed up for FNSI.   I only have one focus project at the moment, which is the Initial Heart  Swap.  Still working on it, and still enjoying every moment!  I hope to do more swaps this year now that I have more time at home.



Have you ever used the words "chickpeas" and "cookies" in the same sentence?  Due to all the rain, it might actually be cool enough to turn the oven on this weekend.  I need to soak the chickpeas first, but stay tuned....debbie

    12 inches is a lot, our annual is only about 18 inches, and I have to convert from mm to inches also!

      Hi Jude,
      I do fine with liquid measurement conversions, but distance or length gets me every time. Maybe some day I will get it....debbie
