- we've cooked up a storm. Meals for the rest of the week are largely sorted and I've made Ants Nest Cake and Lemon Chicken from this great book lent to me by George.
- we went to see this film. It was complex, the cast is a real Who's Who of Australia's top actors, but I think I have to overcome my fear of reading Patrick White and get into the book because I don't know if the film covered all of its nuances. I really thought there was something missing: while I understood the attitudes of the children towards their mother, I did not get a sense of why Elizabeth acted the way shed did towards them. And what was the symbolism of the last scene? Will the book provide the answers? I'll just have to add this to the list. And as a side comment, if anyone can guess (without looking on IMDB) who Helen Morse plays, I'll go He!
- tidied up the garden, noticed new things growing and enjoyed the spring sunshine.
- got lots of unconditional love from these gorgeous girls.
And that's what it's all about.
