LICORICE ALLSORTS - not really
Just a few little stories from my week - all sorts of stories
ANOTHER NAPPY/DAIPER CAKE IN THE MAKINGOn the weekend I was helping Hayley (No.2 son’s girlfriend) make a nappy/diaper cake. Hayley knew I made one for
Amy’s Baby Shower and could help her do it. Hayley is holding a baby shower for a friend. Her friend is having a little girl but isn’t in to all pink frilly girly stuff so it was hard to come up with an idea for the cake décor
Hayley got some pretty flowers and butterflies. We put some lilac and pink ribbon around the cake as well. It still needs a few more flowers at the back, a couple of more butterflies and probably a little baby ornament on the front of the silver base. Hayley took it home as it in the photo and can finish it off as she has the time.

My 86 year old Aunt writes off her car and doesn’t tell us.
Here she is with Riley last Boxing Day
On her way home from Boneo market on Saturday she pulled up behind a 4 wheel drive that is turning into a garage/yard sale. Next thing she knows she is hit from behind - twice! The male driver of the 4WD gets out and starts abusing her and she tells him it was the fault of the car behind her. It is pretty disgusting to imagine a grown man abusing an old lady like that. The tow truck driver arranged for his wife to take my Aunt home. Luckily she was not hurt.
I only found out about her accident when Amy Riley and I called in unexpected (that way I can check on her health etc. without her getting ready for a visit). There was no car in her carport but we saw a light on and there she was inside. She said she didn’t want to bother us as we had enough to deal with, with Max’s mother. I told her don’t ever not tell us about these sorts of things again. She is a special part of out family and we love her dearly.
It was Pink Hot Chocolate.
The lovely Adla from Vintage Delights by Adla asked me to send her my postal address as she had a little something she wanted to send me.
