Chopping Boards.

This is a follow on from a comment made by Jim-au on the last blog.

We had the same problem Jim, as you can see from the following photos. 

What can you expect for $10.00 from that great Swedish icon, IKEA :-).

The bow in the chopping board varied from day to day depending on the temperature and humidity.

This is the original board which was made up of wooden strips. Although it has warped it has worked well as a chopping board but also some where to place warm items from the oven.

 As you can see the new IKEA chopping boards are cross laminated and stable.

Jim correctly says that they slide around on a smooth surface so ours sits on an anti-slip pad.

We have only had this one for about a month so will be interested to see how it performs.

Bits and Bobs.

The best way to see the lovely blue flowers of the Jacaranda is against a dull sky.

 It’s that time of year again, baking Christmas cakes.

 

They look and smell great, one for us and one for Becky and family. Just have to start dosing them with alcohol now.

The Super Full Moon was a bit of a non-event for us as we had a lot of cloud cover. If this photo is enlarged you can see the trees in the garden.

We did manage to see it later in the evening but there was still some light cloud around.

Eventually the cloud broke up and we could see the craters on the left hand side in silhouette.

Enlarge if possible.
