Milo & Pikelets.

Our little monkey discovered the Original monkey bars outside the library this morning.

We spent the morning at the library and left with 60+ new books to read. Our bookshelf is bursting at the seams and there is barely room to fit them all. As we left, the librarian remarked that the children have practically grown up at the library and are so big now. We visit the library every few weeks and it's good to know that after all these years, we have a place to go to where we are seen, recognised and welcomed. 

The warm afternoon meant that the air conditioning came on. We had the McVey children with us and our little man had his friends here while our little lady spent some time at the neighbour's. While it's not an everyday occurrence, I loved the sight of children coming and going, mugs of milo being made and pikelets being served up for tea. Food connects people and it's such a blessing to be able to feed people we care about.

I was going a little bonkers last week with the length of the school term getting to me. I met a friend at the school gates earlier this week and we are having tea tomorrow. I am probably a little too excited at the prospect of it!

I've made some mini-muffins to bring for tea... They're incredibly quick to make and the variations are endless once you have a decent base recipe. They're dessert in a bite and bake in just 12 minutes...don't think we will go back to regular muffins any time soon.
