Today we spent a few hours at our local mall. I was most impressed to see a 'Fathers Room' - an inclusion that reflects the involvement of many fathers in families these days.
The shop window reminded me of our dear little friend, Scarlet, who moved from Sydney earlier this year. We do miss her and her gorgeous parents but we'll be seeing them soon when we meet her brand new brother!
There are still a few more hours of daylight so the men of the house have gone outside to do a bit of a backyard renovation - putting up some geo-mesh so the chooks don't kill-off the grass with the dirt they scritch out of their pen; attaching a new owl 'scarecrow' to the balcony to keep the pesky myna birds at bay and; screwing in a tall piece of plastic lattice to prevent our daughter (or any other visitors) from crawling off the balcony and into the garden.
I'd better go and spend these last few hours of the weekend outside too and prepare for pizza night tonight. This recipe from Donna Hay's 'Seasons' has changed my attitude about cooking with yeast (scary to easy) and comes up trumps every time. A sign of a good pizza recipe is a sprinkling of flour in the spine of the book, right?
(Tonight our 2-year-old son made himself the pizza above. It was a novelty having a heart-shaped pizza. Obviously a popular one because he ate two pizzas with spinach, fresh pineapple, olives, fresh tomato, salami, onion & cheese.)
