Real internets!

Thank god. It has been a weekend of domesticity. I did washing, bought a couple of pots to put some herbs in on my balcony, found out that the Canberra Organic Gardeners association has community garden allotments in O'Connor (next suburb over - who knows if any are available though - I missed their monthly meeting last week, meh), and bottled the elderflower cordial I made last weekend from the elder bushes around the property. There are zillions around this part of town, although now it's too late to make cordial, if anyone else might have been interested. I also did vacuuming and other exciting things.

I have not, however, unpacked my books or CDs. I should do CDs. With books, I need to think about perhaps buying another bookshelf, and where to put them all. Mmmm.

I also had a visit from my next-door neighbour, who asked me not to scrape their car with my door (our parking spaces are very close). I've actually been fairly conscious of not hitting their car (because I don't like it when mine get scratched!), but maybe sometime while I've been unloading craploads of stuff these last couple of weeks? Hm. He was very nice about it, but I find it difficult to know what to say when I don't think I've done something I shouldn't, but the possibility is there. "I don't think I did, but I'll make sure to stay conscious of it" sounds fucking mealy-mouthed and irresponsible, but it's what I said. Oh well.

I'm glad you got to make the cordial - I'm rather addicted to the stuff myself and bought out WW's supply when they deleted the line recently. It's Bottlegreen brand from the UK and I got their last 7 bottles (along with a couple of ginger & lemongrass which were also being deleted). So I'm probably OK for this year but next year I'd like to beg your recipe.

Summer drink of the century - gin, elderflower, soda, twist of lime, ice.

Glad you're settling in to your new home. We're planning a little bike ride and picnic down by the lake in a few weeks - possibly first Sunday in December? Time to get the girls out on their bikes and selinde2 would like to get her girls out on theirs too. Thought we'd do a little riding around by the paddle-boat area and then picnic on the grass there.

All that domesticity sounds useful. I'm sure Fawn would approve. She'd probably cheerfully share cordial recipes, too.
