Thank you for visiting me this week. I'm looking forward to a visit from Sarndra and Alex today. They're staying overnight before driving up to their new home in Gladstone. Shane is going ahead with a truck full of their furniture.

I hope you can relax and enjoy the weekend. See you next week.

  4. Thanks for the shout-out, Rhonda. This weekend will see my reading a report by a Danish architect on how Adelaide could be improved, and probably writing about my findings and thoughts.

  8. Rhonda I have just sat down and read your book from cover to cover and enjoyed every page. I am now spurred on to getting my vegetable garden up and running, last year all that seemed to grow were Lebanese cucumbers by the dozen. Just incase this happens again this year I would like to preserve them and was very interested in your chapter on what appeared to be an easy way of doing it. I have been collecting Maccona coffee jars and was wondering if you thought they would make ideal preserving jars.
    Once again thank you for giving me a lot to think over this weekend.....

    1. I'm pleased you enjoyed the book Maureen. Now, with the cucumbers, Maccona coffee jars will be fine if you want to store them in the fridge. You'd have to clean them thoroughly, then sterilise, fill the hot jars with hot cucumbers and store in the fridge. If you want to store them in the cupboard after water bathing, no, don't use them. You'll need screw on lids. As the preserves are cooling, they create a vacuum, sealing the screw on lids tightly, making them pop as they do it, and they're fine for cupboard storing.

  9. I was keen to see the 'How to make a tyre ottoman' Ronda - but the link does not seem to be correct.

    I hope you are having a relaxing weekend. Tricia
