What a long week it has been. Its taken me quite some time to catch up on my blog reading. We seem to have had nothing but illness over the last week. The littlest man had been back at kindy for a day when he got sick. This continued on for a few days until he managed to pick up. As he was getting better, I was at the Doc and physio with the middle man with his back. The result of huge growth spurts, age and decreased spine curvature in the places it should be curved, specifically the lumbar region. This results in decreased shock absorption for a teenager who plays sports most days and tight hamstrings.
The rain has seemed to be endless (except for the last three days of beautiful sunshine).
At least I was able to get some baking done. Choc chip cookies, Anzac's, this easy Date Loaf that I found here and the following yummy slice.
MOOMBA FINGERS
125 butter/margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup mixed fruit
2 cups SR flour
pinch of salt
Melt butter in a large saucepan, add sugar and allow mixture to cool slightly. Add beaten egg, mixed fruit, sifted flour and salt. Mix well. Spread in a greased slab tin 23 x 28cm and bake in a moderately hot oven 190C for 20 minutes.
Ice with lemon icing and top with a sprinkle of coconut or chopped nuts.
It seems that I have no sooner baked and filled the tins and I'm at it again.
I also managed to get some knitting done, trying to finish off a jumper for the little man. We had some nice quiet time during the wet days where I knitted.
Unfortunately, the knitting now has to wait for a few more days. Over the weekend we went to our friends wood yard to collect some logs from their 'scrap pile'. As I was picking one up another bounced off the loader bucket and landed on my finger, crushing it against another piece. PAIN!!!! It is still quite swollen, a beautiful patchwork of colours and very immobile. This post has taken me oh so long to write. I've been itching to get back to my blog and was very determined to get this done.
I now have to find something to do that doesn't involve the index finger of the right hand!!
Hope you are all well and have a lovely day :)
