I am amazed. Amazed at the variety of my life.

Harvested, sorted, processed and froze my celery crop today. Next time I try growing celery I will go 'old-school' and blanch it. This lot went rank and bolted, and won't be much use for anything but Irish stews. However, the important thing is that I have harvested it, and if I leave it in the freezer and throw it out in 4 months, I still have that sanctimonious glow of a job well done.

James had his first ever home-made meal in his new (my old) bunnykins plate today - potatoes, carrots, our own silverbeet and peas, and a little lamb grabbed from Matthew's dinner portion. Cooked and Mouli'd by his dutiful mother. Still to do today to earn my perfect housewife gold star - stew Matt's breakfast apples and prepare a fantastic meal with homemade and home-grown cauliflower cheese and mint sauce.

In fantastic contrast, our great neighbours have invited me to Toasted Sandwiches at shed 6 tonight and scored a comp for me. Matthew will be seeing the New Year in with Inspector Morse. I feel that I'm blowing all my brownie points in one go, but it should be worth it.
