In My Kitchen - December

This seems to be the time of year for visiting the doctor, the dentist, the hairdresser and so on!  And it's racing towards you know what day:=)  I am speedily ordering gifts for people, and organising Christmas things.  Phew!  It's tiring and exciting, isn't it?  (Just had a crown done at the dentist; my new dentist is brilliant!)

A funny aside:  Mr P. was ordering a few Christmas gifts for me online, and the bank declined, and blocked his account.  So he spent a lot of time on the phone trying to sort it.  Hopefully, I will be getting some gifts from him this year!  

And we just had our fifth storm for the week - it was blue sky, sunshine and hail!!  More expected on the weekend.  Heaven knows what our actual summer will be like.

looking out our front porch window - sun and hail!!

thank goodness the hail was small, and it passed quickly

In My Kitchen:

could this be? - Another wooden spoon??  Yes!

more goodies from the Japanese mart

I made chocolate tarts for our Hist. Soc. meeting

as per the suggestion from David at Spiced blog - all my spoons!

my curveball - a cute vase from our mate Nat @theAustinFlowers

Isn't this adorable?  Interesting that there has been a bit of a furore lately in the local art world; a couple of artists claiming that the other artist copied their work/ideas.  (Not Nat!)  It revolves around kitchen pantry items used in their art (tbh, this is and has always been a popular theme).  So we will see what happens, with the accusations and the possible lawsuits :=)
