Show and Tell

On May Tuesday 29, 2007 Ros and Claude came in for Show & Tell and they talked about where they've been so far.


Guess what the first question was?... HOW OLD ARE YOU!

Rosi gave each child a koala key-ring.

Cute cats

A couple of days ago there was a cat in our garden, as there usually is. It's our favourite one too. We were giving it a backscratch in this picture. It's really soft, I kind of wish we had a cat but mum said if we bought one she would run away from home! which I wouldn't want to happen. The grey kind of cat is our favourite. I'm not sure why though (but when mum sees a cat she tries to run it over) but if she's not in a car she just goes like this (pssssssssssss) and chases it.

A day in the life of George Johnston

Today I woke up with sore tonsils so I had the day off school with mum.

This is the view I saw out the window - tractor ploughing the field.

I went to the doctor, then to the hospital where I had a blood test to see if I still have glandular fever...and peed into a specimen cup!

She was pretty gentle.

Our usual car park

Next stop was the Co-op where we picked up a few of our favourite items. A short drive away and we were in the dutch bakery selecting a pie for lunch.

Across the road we visited the travel agent to book our eurail passes for the summer break, and now all jobs completed we drove home.

We spent the afternoon at home playing Yahtzee - I beat mum twice!

I've had my bath, antibiotic and now I am going to bed with my hot water bottle.

Good-night!

Prairie Oyster recipe - for Matthew 'Offal' Aston

Step 1. Wrestle unsuspecting young steer to the ground



Step 2. Arrange for a nice young man with a sharp knife to locate and shuck fresh oysters from neat package.

Step 3. Collect fresh Oysters in suitably large receptacle as Steps 1 & 2 are repeated ad nauseum.


Step 4. Remove outer skin from Oysters with dangerously sharp knife.


Step 5. Hand over to Roy and listen carefully to the intricacies of the recipe. (Use egg to help crumbs stick, fry gently in oil until cooked.)


Step 6. Clear the head. Get a bit of fresh air by taking the kids for a walk. Watch kids hunt gophers.

Step 8. Return just as cooking is completed.

Step 9. Ponder. Chew (and chew). Swallow. Smile bravely.

Thanks to the Hewitt family for a fantastic time. Thanks to John & Tracy Buckley for their amazing generosity and hospitality.
