It's a bunny! Phew. That was like one of those ink-blot tests and I went through some disturbing interpretations before I got to the rabbit.

That top bit looks a bit like a cleavage, Diane.

Happy Easter, by the way.

Only from the men!!  ..0  I saw the bunny straight away, Diane.  A very Happy/Hoppy Easter to all.  I've never seen so much chocolate - shouldn't have taken Kate shopping with us on Thursday!

No chocolate in the Vulture home this Easter. The grandchildren are spending a 'wonderful' week-end with their father - in a caravan - in beautiful, soggy Clacton! Maybe they'll bring some back for me... :(

Clacton sounds awful Vulch - and why didn't they take you too - miserable gits.

You can always go and buy some for yourself - on Tuesday when it's half price - hee he. (that's when I'm going to get myself some candy coated cadbury eggs).

The kids have lots this year - cream eggs and peeps

I have re-discovered cinder toffee - sooo easy to make, and delicious, you can keep all your expensive (even at half-price!) chocolate.  :-*

Cinder toffee... now there's something I've not had in a while...!

Happy Easter everyone!  :)

My hubby, ever the romantic, left me a tire sponge toffee (what we call cinder toffee in Canada) on my keyboard.

We used to only be able to get it when we went to the British import shop in Banff - but now the local Bargain Shop carries if for 99c per bar (60g).

Surely you can make it cheaper than that, Diane?

The Lyles syrup would be a problem to find - and then all the mess and the hard crack state sounds a bit high tech - then the syrup could burn the house down - no I don't think it would be cheaper.

Thanks for the link, Diane.  I was about to ask for a translation - never heard of cinder toffee, must be an english name.  I would call it honeycomb.

I am going to be super busy this week driving my son to the city each day to take his lifeguarding course (230 km per day - so too far to come home in between drop off and pick up) and it's from 9 - 5. Then I have my regular things to do when I get home. He had better save someone's life after all this trouble. 

Vultch, can I leave you in charge of saying Happy Birthday to people this week as the back up calendar girl?

Of course, Diane. How will I know whose birthday it is (looked at the calendar and it appears to be empty...)?

You are just expected to know Vultch - Colin's birthday was not on the calendar. But when you take on the mantel of Calendar Girl - you get super powers and a spandex outfit.
Have fun!

OK, Roger. I'll just get them to transfer next weeks' pension to you. It might be a tad short of ?100 but, according to the government, it's enough for a grown person to live on!  :P

That's fine, Vuch---just as much as you can afford.

You read something like this, Roger, and it gets to you; makes you think that there has to be an alternative.





Maybe bailiffs? Or Debt Collectors?

Aren't school holidays great, Diane?  Ours don't have them any more, and can drive themselves where they need to be, but it doesn't mean they're not a nuisance sometimes.  We've just got the kitchen table back after several days of it being covered in bits of wire, soldering irons, various tools and a circuit board - son was completing a project for uni.  Then I got grumped at for waking him up at 10am this morning, until I said it was his friend phoning from London.

You need to do some serious shopping, or at least window shopping while you're in the city.  Share the chores around when you get home.

Kate's just come in with a big pink Care Bear.  She won it at the Easter Show on the fourth shot in the basketball hoops.  ;D  http://www.eastershow.com.au/index.html (http://www.eastershow.com.au/index.html)

I already have these; they're called 'children'!  :D
