My favourite place to shop


Kinokuniya in Galleries Victoria is my favourite shop. It's in the Sydney CBD so it's probably fortunate I don't get there often!! It's a Japanese bookshop. I don't often buy actual books anymore since I bought my Kindle, but this shop has an awesome range of books.

 But it's not the books I go for most of the time, it's the stationery section. They have lots of cool pens, notebooks & other stationery that I love. I probably have way to many pens, but always find just one more I like. I also like the Japanese craft & drawing books they have there. 

 The kids section is pretty awesome & is in the section where the main front window is in the photo!

 Can't wait to get back & see what I can find next time I'm in Sydney!

The Trees We're in summer now, so the spring flowers are pretty much finished. If they weren't before they will be after the heatwave of the last couple of days!! This is a ponytail palm my hubby got a long time before we got married. It was originally in a pot  indoors until he planted it out. It's apparently unusual to have one with so many 'ponytails' & so many flower spikes on it. Pretty much every year we get at least this many flower spikes. Sometimes more - it depends if we've remembered to remove the dead ones from the previous year. Occasionally one of the branches rots - another one shoots up to replace it.

A Meal My Grammy's rissoles & gravy has to be my favourite meal. Fortunately she talked me through how to make them before she got dementia. I was living here & she told me over the phone - no quantities mind you. I'd made them a number of times before accidently working out the 'secret' ingredient! Turns out salt is what makes it taste soooo good. I've made a couple of minor changes - they have to be gluten free so I use rice crumbs & cornflour instead of bread & plain flour. Also Gram would grate the onion, but I don't like doing that so try & cut the onion as fine as I can - actually I don't mind the chunky onion. I always hope there are leftovers (not very often) so, like Gram, we can have rissole & gravy sandwiches the next day!

The river has peaked, it hasn't rained again so it's all calm again for the minute! We just went for a drive & while the water is way higher than it was yesterday at a similar time, it is also starting to drop. There are still 2 roads open (one to 4WD only). but by tomorrow it should drop quite a bit.  Rail Bridge on the road out to Burren Junction - this is after you go across the bridge.  Lagoon Bridge Other side of the Lagoon Bridge - this is where the water cuts off the road in that direction - once you get past this water the road is clear (well some of the floodways might have some water in them, but you can get to Narrabri). Vera's Leap (been closed for about a week) Mum took these photos during the day today. Her camera is way better than mine! A fact that became glaringly obvious when I looked at her photos & mine in the same folder on the computer. I've got a few more to upload but I'll leave them until tomorrow. We are still w...
