Mal bought a halogen oven back from the UK with him last year. It is great in the summer to have outside with an extension lead and then our standard oven doesn’t heat the kitchen up in the height of summer. I have to say, he paid a lot more than this! And it is easier to clean than the other oven. 12 litre compact. It fits into a suitcase easily.

We decided we ought to take Rosie for a slightly longer walk to try and get her appetite back and so we went into the ravine. What a difference, when the digger was down there it has created a new footpath and clearing through the trees so we don’t have to balance on the crumbling path above the stream! You can see from the picture the stream is still running to the left but at least now there is a clear path, so less likely to encounter snakes! You have to remember that prior to this we walked right next to at least a 2 metre drop, balancing on the edge.  I have to say Rosie did plod on the way back home but at least she made it. I gave her some chicken when we got back…she walked away from it! She did eat a very small amount lunch time.

The new pathway

 

 

Thought for the Day – “Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars… and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers – for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.” ~ Osho
