WILDFLOWERS IN THE GOLDFIELDS

BACON & POTATO FRITTERS

This recipe looks yum & fattening too but hey, you only live once! I am no cook, but this looks pretty easy to whip up.

NEW YEARS EVE

Last day of the year & about 3 1/2 hours before 2011 begins.

Wow, 5 months ago I last posted, where did this year go? I must of been too busy to post on here or I was just too slack, yeah I would say slack! A promise to myself - to update my blog more regularly even if it is just monthly.

2010 was a pretty good year for me & hoping 2011 will be a great one too.

Happy New Year everyone.

MISS TUBBY

Miss Tubby enjoying the winter comfort of my bed! I actually banned her from sleeping on my bed as outside she loves the red dirt which she brings onto my doona cover, but it is winter time & she spends most of it indoors & too cold for her to go outside exploring.

PS: She loves my electric throw rug and my electric blanket too!

KALGOORLIE/BOULDER HIT BY AN EARTHQUAKE

The Old Commercial Hotel

No Skimpies, here tonight!

Golden Eagle Hotel

Kalgoorlie/Boulder was hit by an earthquake yesterday (20.04.2010) reading 5 on the richter scale with aftershocks still happening today. Most of the damage was done to the hotels in Boulder and to some houses. My sister works at the Rec Hotel in Boulder and she said that is was pretty scary stuff & with the engineers checking out the structure of the buildings (as some of these hotels are over 100 years old) not sure whether she has a job to go back to. My niece who is 12, has the rest of the school week of as a couple of the roofs in her school collapsed. She had put on her facebook that it felt like an 7 or 8 on the richter scale. Did not have the heart to tell her "how would she know as she has never been in one that size except for yesterday", bless her! Lucky no one was seriously injured. Hopefully they will be able to rebuild the old buildings? Who says Kal/Boulder is boring??

LEO SKYLINE
