Cooking and Hiking

Nothing sets you up for the day and gets your heart racing like letting your husband shave your legs with a cut-throat razor…
Apparently safety razors are too mundane so Jeff got himself a straight razor and has been practicing on his face – which by the look of it if you saw it, gives me a million-wife-cool-&-brave points.
Jeff asked to practice on my legs… gulp.
Anyway, I survived. My legs are certainly less hairy, but slightly decorated with lines and bits of red. haha

Megumi and I gutsed all the pickled beetroot, so we had to make some more.
Step one of course is to pick some

The chooks were happy with the green bits!

After we did that, we made up a batch of rhubarb/raspberry jam. I was going to make up some regular raspberry jam but by then I was over being inside.

It had been a while since we did a loop around Anniversary Bay.
Bravely, Megumi decided to come along as well.

We went the opposite way to normal. It gets a lot of the long hills out of the way first, so the trip down to the beach is less daunting than the trip back up from the beach if you go our usual way.
Anyway, despite it being quite a challenge, Megumi was still smiling most of the way!

Not sure why Jeff and Megumi just didn’t go rushing off into the waves for a dip as soon as we hit the beach!! The best feeling to get the boots off and just go diving in!! Sure, feet end up a bit sandy to put the boots back on again, but a small price to pay for the refreshing feeling of the salt water rushing over you. (And in case you were wondering, yes my legs rather stung and Jeff kept laughing!! Nice!!)

Pretty good day all around.
Taking it easy today (aka being sensible) Just doing some more of Rachels house photos and helped Kirrily move a truck-load of stuff out of her room as she is moving into her own place at the end of next week. I swear I am renaming her room The Tardis!!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!
Cheers
