Here we go again, my friends :=) Halloween just left the building, and already Christmas shenanigans are squeezing through the front door. October has been very weird, weatherwise. We had a huge storm with a super-cell (and massive 7cm hailstones), then the next day was 38C, then the day after that it dropped to 23C, and lots of rain. EEEK! What's next? The Apocalypse?

| oh my word, friends - we had a storm! |
Oh boy, did we have a storm! See the green layer? Yep, massive hail in some areas (not ours luckily). And a house which was being renovated came off its stumps in the 96 kph winds. I think 70,000 homes/people were without power. Weirdly, our power went off, but only for about 30 seconds. Other poor souls lost it for hours (and days). For some reason (geographical?), our suburb rarely gets the bad stuff!
In My Kitchen:
 |
| a gorgeous tumbler/pour cup - Snow Gum - from Magnolia Mountain |
 |
| mmm, yep another cookbook |
 |
| the green matcha bikkies are like Tim Tams! but green, and matcha :) |
 |
| a dear friend sent me these! Ah childhood memories ... |
 |
| I bought the best dukkah ever - again! |
 |
| I had to buy me some more Dubai chocolate |
I tried dark chocolate, milk chocolate and ruby chocolate versions. Nah to the ruby for sure, and nah to the dark - but yay for the milk choc version. Which is odd for me, 'cos I don't normally go for milk chocolate! But it just worked here!
 |
| who could resist these cute bees on a tea-towel from Donna Sharam? |
 |
| yep, we went to Tropical Fruit World :=) |
