We followed our usual Sunday morning ritual with Rob taking the boys swimming while I lay in and watched the Insiders. It was full of discussions today about the ludicrous so-called plebiscite on same sex marriage. Those in favour of SSM, but opposed to this process have been well and truly wedged - we have no alternative to vote, and encourage others to do so, in fear a NO vote will fall over the line Brexit/Trump style, setting back the cause for years. Australia has fallen so far behind in these basic rights debates - think refugees, women and LGBTQI issues - and it seems we've completely lost our way in terms of political decision making. I could go on...I'm very cross about it all.
Later in the morning I joined Rob, Angus and Molly for a walk in the gorgeous sunshine at Sydney Park, followed by a quick spin around the supermarket.
This afternoon was spent cooking, testing out my new Braun kitchen whizz that arrived late last week. It's fabulous. Angus and I were keen to test it out by making a Basque cheesecake that we'd heard about during the week. It tasted as good as it sounded! Only he and I like cheesecake now, so looks like my diet plans are out the window for another week. I also baked ANZAC biscuits for the lunch boxes and made two soups - a Vietnamese Pho for our dinner, which went down a treat, and a delicious celeriac and celery soup, based on a Delia Smith recipe. It was a rewarding few hours.I potted about for the rest of the afternoon which was nice although I'm tired and aching: I know the tiredness is radiotherapy related and the aching a hang over from the chemo. It'll lift one day I'm sure.
I forgot to put a necklace on this morning... funny, I'd never forget my earrings...
