Getting ready for Party Time

We've been helping Ken and Colleen prepare for their Big '0' birthday party with 50 guests; some of whom, like us, will be traveling from out of state.

There's nothing like having visitors to motivate a spring clean and Ken and Collen have really embraced this. We've already spent half a day assisting by re-organising garage contents to make space for the Jazz playing. A mini-skip was filled today with the Bloke's help while I've had a cook-up of dessert foods back on board. A blissful day of solitude.

What's on the menu? Our contribution includes chocolate brownies plus poached pears with chocolate sauce.

 Would have preferred Bosc Pears but had to settle for Josephines and Packhams.
Don't be worrying about our charts, they are under thick plastic!

 First batch

 Chopped, boxed and ready to go.

Hands off my Tupperware Brian, I really do need it!

Luckily, with Ian and Tina's help yesterday, we picked up a set of wheels for one week which will enable us to be independent and do some visiting. The Wirrina Cove, Port St Vincent Marina is miles from anywhere. I suspect the Bloke also has ambitions to make surreptitious visits to the Yankalilla Bakery to further sample it's rather excellent sausage rolls.
