DEAR SPOOK, ok,ok, so there are some pretty views from the Snow Park (or is it the Snow Farm?). And yes, I'm sure that is Mt Aspiring in the background there. But there are some lovely views here on a good day. It just wasn't a good day today. Thon kind of dreary mid-November kind of day you get. I painted some bits of the house white and then went on a wee social trail. The photo on Laurences computer, taken on a winters day in Ballachulish is more than worthy of the blog and if I can get him to send it, I will post it here. I thought it was New Zealand when I glanced at it and it was amazing to see somewhere so familiar look so dramatic.
I was making pizza to take round to Sara and Kevins because Kevin hadn't made his own base before and wanted to see how easy it was. I started the dough to rise in a warm basin and warm towel, and placed it carefully behind the drivers seat in the car. Then I placed the basket with all the other ingredients and wine on the back seat. As I was driving down the road in the dark, rainy night, I met Nicky walking home and slammed the breaks on to turn and give her a lift. Of course the contents of the basket shot off the seat onto the floor and clattered on to the basin of dough. Iether my dough was super elastic, or the pizza gods were on my side, as everything was scattered around the basin and nothing actually in it.
I will be feeding you copious amounts of pizza and anything else I can lay my hands on, now that you have sent me that picture of you in only your wee stubby shorts. Are you still trying to woo me back to NZ? I have resisted putting the picture on the blog, because I don't think people are ready for that kind of picture. You look a bit scary!!!!
Finn has got a game of rugby in Oban tomorrow, so I wont be able to paint many bits of the house white, much to my frustration. I don't think he is fit for rugby but he can't bare not to be there.
I love white paint.
