5 items in the freezer

- Three months worth of home made kidney bean Mexican sauce, so the kids can be fed if we have to find a meal in a hurry or want to eat adult stuff.

- Apricot and bran and something else muffins.
- Eight loaves of preservative free wholemeal bread.
5 items in my closet
- Genune 1960′s black silk handkerchief hem dress that was obviously hand sewn for someone with my exact body proportions. Found in the upmarket Vinnies shop in Freo and bought for $20. Still waiting for occasion to wear it.
- My parents’ old x-rays.
- A bundle of letters that my Great Uncle Jack sent to my Grandma during the war.
- Probably the cat, curled up on whatever has dropped to the floor.
- A box full of too many extra shoes. Haven’t worn them for 10 years. Probably never will. Can’t discard.

5 random things (because this is a five things meme)
- Way past my bedtime.
- Mr 3 is having a sleepover in our bed because Mr 8 is having a sleepover away from home.
- Mr 8 is going to a rollerskating party tomorrow and I can’t wait to strap my skates on again. I’m a woman of an age where I was a teen inspired (not repulsed) by Cliff Richard on roller skates singing “Wired for Sound“, and Olivia Newton John roller skating in Xanadu.
- I’m wearing a polar fleece poncho that I sewed for my Co-Pilot because he always wanted a poncho, then promptly stole to use as a dressing gown.
- I get to sleep without trying to do this meme all night now. Yay!
