We started off watching the horror that is Easter at the Seat of Knowledge this morning, with all of the tourists lining up to use the boat ramp, with a bit of ramp rage here and there among the tourists, who have all obviously registered for the Easter Fishing Classic and were in a hurry to get out and start catching fish!
Then we did a little grocery shopping enjoyed a coffee outside the local shops before heading home to get started on our chores for the day.
Adoring Husband spent the entire day in the garden, setting up my new herb garden, pruning some plants and tidying up the pot plants around the water feature.
I spent time in the kitchen doing some preparations for our dinner party on Sunday night and cooking our main meal for lunch. We had crispy skinned salmon steaks on potato and sweet potato mash with a side of zucchini and broccoli. Quite delicious.
For a light dinner tonight, we had fresh king prawns on bed of salsa (cucumber, tomato, onion, grapes, coriander, mint and lime juice) and homemade mayonnaise.
I think we might both have an early night tonight. I'm feeling quite weary after a restless night last night and a busy-ish day today.
Let me introduce you to our new "Helen"
Yes she is quite beautiful, but as yet, has not laid an egg! I warned them today that if they didn't get a wriggle on and start laying, they would be the main course for the dinner party on Sunday!!
They've been very happily scratching around in the garden and I'm sure that they thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful of my bok choy, the remnants of which can now barely be seen :(
I'll get some better photos of Hector and Happy some time soon.
Right now, I need to wake Adoring Husband up and send him off to bed before his snores drown out the football game that I'm watching!
Nite all.

What a very elegant bird. Perhaps she feels egg laying is beneath her and she wants to be a model!
