The Moussaka was a raging success! Oh so tasty. And it tends to get better as the days go on which always amazes me, but it seems to happen with most saucy type things like this. Anyway - I didn't drop it, even though it was probably just as heavy as the previously dropped one. The secret is oven mitts! Not tea towels, which was my previously preferred method of removing steaming hot fare from the oven. Check out my recipe & some pics here.

Yesterday Mark & I took the babies out for a stroll in the evening sun. It was gorgeous, we took them up to the park and let them off the lead for a run. They bolted around like maniacs, and kept eying people off as if they were going to eat them (this was Arnie mainly, Jeff was happy barrelling after the ball Mark & I were throwing for him). Arnie can't seem to get used to walking properly on the lead. He pulls, veers of in random directions and just generally works his hardest to annoy the cr@p out of Mark. Jeff on the other hand, hates walking on grass. I know! He's a DOG!! It's because there seem to be a lot of bindis at the moment, and they stick into his little paws. When we get off a bindi patch, I bend down and remove them all from his paws, but the poor bugger is scarred from the pokey experience.

Not long now and Mark & I will be off and away to Vanuatu!! I can't wait. We've discussed doing the Advanced Open Water PADI course as we are both Open Water divers who never do anything with it - we figure we might as well take the chance we've got to refresh and do some diving! I'm really excited - diving still scares me so I can't wait to do it and work my way towards not being terrified!

I'm off to see the Oral surgeon at lunch time today. I've got this ridiculous looking fat lip that's been there for about a month now. It was MASSIVE at one stage and didn't appear to be getting any better, but just as my appointment rolls around, it goes down and is now not even nearly as offensive as it was for the past 4 weeks.
