bonfire night

Saturday night was AWESOME {33 people}
family, friends, laughs, good food who could ask for more
the kids started the fire at 5pm & it was put out at 2.30am
beautiful night, clear sky with thousands of stars, warmish night with a slight breeze
all the kids going exploring in the bush with torches
sitting by the fire reimanising, telling stories, laughing, having fun
toasting marshmallows, writing names with sparklers
second annual bonfire night was a success, even better than last year

sunset

went shopping today picked up a couple of spotlights, a whole lot of food & 2 huge cooking pots.
been cooking since lunch time for our bonfire night tomorrow. set up all our spotlights after tea
all we need to do tomorrow its build the fire, set up all the straw bales & planks, bring the stereo speakers up stairs to hook the to the computer & finish off the last of the cooking.
should be a great night.
leaving you with the pic i took out the back last night, how cool are those colours

new look

this morning i decided to change my blog & go for a different colour
was sick of the pink & its amazing how many other people use the barbie pink.
so now its all about the Green. anyway i changed the colour but did not realize that by changing it i would loose all my links :o/ 2 hours later & a lot of surfing i managed to find most of them.
wont be changing again in a hurry i can tell ya
pick up my new dryer tomorrow WOOO HOOO soooo sick of drying washing in front of the fire
had a great time at the show on saturday, purchased 29 rubber stamps :o) a few ink cubes, game pieces, pockets, library cards & these huge paper clips plus lots of other bits & pieces. i went with a list & did not get anything on it LOL its always the way.
