Creating a backlog....

We hosted an iftar on Thursday...

It was Ashura, so fasting happened in our house on Wednesday and Thursday... and we're fond of feeding folk in our house, so we weren't going to let the opportunity pass without some effort on our part....

So, what was intended to be a quiet, long weekend.. due to school being out on Thursday for the occasion..it actually got fairly busy and disppeared quicker than I wanted it to....

I got a fair bit done though... apart from feeding people I managed to get my leaky storeroom sorted just in time for the rainy season... which doesn't mean that it won't leak it just means we've cleared  enough space for things not to get destroyed...

I also had a super quick shopping trip yesterday on my way to the seamstress and managed to buy some goodness... but that's a whole other post....

Right now, I'm freezing and facing the fact that we're going to have to all move downstairs today because our upstairs has already started to leak and is no longer usable...

We're forcast rain until next Tuesday, and while the rain is badly needed after a long dry summer, it takes it's toll and the move from blisteringly hot to unbearably cold has happened with almost no warning... and it's a shock to the system!

And now I have to run, there is a child to collect from nursery... two more wet schol runs to do before lunch and several more back and forth after....

Oh, and the backlog.... I have a heap of recipes to share but the best I can give you right now are the pics....
