Today while preparing this evening's dinner (which took over an hour)... the power circuit in my #kitchen and #laundry (the two most important areas of the house), kept #tripping the #safetyswitch . I went out several times, switched off appliances - while hoping it wasn't our #fridge.

Hubby (who was busy on a work conference call), finally helped to switch off power outlets I couldn't reach (behind the fridges / washing machine and dryer - the disadvantages of being short 😁).

We then connected extension cords to the other end of the house for the major appliances, but have now pin pointed to either the power point under the kitchen sink OR guess what the #famous @beko.anz #dishwasher 🤬

It's now plugged in and working via an extension cord 😳 but....will be keeping an eye on it. The top shelf is on its way out already though... It keeps collapsing.

Time for a much needed #coffee before the boys return home from school.

My #dailydose of #goodness - #everyday #multivitamins - #oliveleafextract / #vitc #garlic #horsradish X 2 / #spirulina X 3 / #fishoil / #magnesium #vitd #calcium and of course a #morning #coffee #latte ☕

Woken to no power this morning 😭 luckily there was a little water still in the taps to boil a #teapot and the #coffee #percolator - #toast #hack on the #gas #stovetop in #fryingpans

(Need my morning shower though) 😭🤬

I've been in Sydney for over a week now ☀️🌞 (so sorry Melbourne friends, but it's 20C at the moment and a high of 27C today) 😉

Not a bad place to walk this morning after attending @cronullabootcamp - #shellyparkcronulla #cronulla , followed by a quick stop at #caringbah for a @ourfather.cafe #latte #coffee 😍 ☕

Been up and about all morning (and without the #crutches 👍🏼).

It did take a little while to prep #dinner for tonight, but I managed it 👍🏼

Now it's time to lie down and #rest again after this #coffee ☕

#gravy #choppedparsley #garlic #sweetpotatoes #potatoes #carrots #beans #mushrooms #beetroot ( #chicken is in the fridge).

My day so far; been to my #boxing workout at 9.00am, then shopping, followed by getting home around 11.00am to make a #beefstew in my @brevilleaus #flavourmaker #crockpot (the #ricecooker is also ready to go on later too).

So, meanwhile and in between several washing cycles, I've finally got to sit down for a quiet #cuppa #coffee ☕😍

✳️Morning #workout done ✔️

✳️Grocery shop done ✔️

✳️ #Dinner in the #crockpot - #lambpotroast #lambroast ✔️

✳️ Now it's #coffee #relaxation time ✔️

Was a hard choice (afterall in France #wine is served always with lunch 😉), plus there's only one glass amount left in the bottle......but I chose the #wakeup #juice #coffee 😁☕

Got #dinner (and enough to freeze for another meal) organised early this morning.

Have I mentioned how much I love my @brevilleaus #flavourmaker #slowcooker #crockpot 😍 the fact I can get and cook on the stovetop first, then just lift the pot back into the heated base is the best.

#spaghettibol #bolognesesauce with #celery #onions #garlic #herbs #carrots #eggplant #zucchini #beefmince (found some frozen crushed tomatoes in the freezer), and lastly, added a bottle of #passata, then poured #redwine into the empty bottle, shook and added also to the dish along with freshly picked #bayleaves . Once the #tomatoes have melted, will add cracked #salt and #pepper and give it a good mix.

My kitchen is clean and I'm now for that second cup of #coffee 😁☕

#goodmorning - sometimes I get to sleepin on Saturday's and I've made a #delicous #breakfast in the @delonghi_au #multifry

Grilled #salami #tomato #spinach and #cheese on a toasted #gf @abbottsbakery slice of bread 😍

While not forgetting my daily #vitamins and #coffee of course.

Finally I can sit down for a minute or two - #lattee #coffee ☕ time.

The kitchen is tidy once again, and #dinner underway. A #cake for #dessert is cooking in the @delonghi_au #multifry at the moment.

Testing the new #oven @smegaustralia - #cakes are cooking well, but I'm still not use to cooking #dinner inside yet. My old #smeg was so much better.

I've made a #coffee #buttercake - recipe is on the website - https://noexcuseseasyorganising.com/coffee-butter-cake/
