Poor mans garlic bread ?
Oh its actually a mix of milk, onion and cheese so more like a cheese toast

It's the taste that matters. I once had company who had a sudden craving for garlic toast, and actually got a bit cranky that I wasn't about to run to the store and get some, or get takeout.

I told her, "We have bread, margarine (she couldn't deal with butter), and garlic (usually kept on hand since that was back in the days when I used to make homemade pizza). We have a toaster. I can make you some and it will only take a couple of minutes."

So I did, and she was happy.

(come to think of it, this is making me think that garlic toast would be nice to have...)

Diet and exercise tine. Two mile walk up the hill.


Right on the edge of the city. Behind us is the hill with a few houses giving way to bush.


Found a new trail to try out. Close to road but bush is thick enough you cant really see the cars. You can hear them.



I like being near water. You can hear the creek and occasionally a car. Kinda surreal bush plus car noise.



Getting further up the bush starts giving way to bigger trees more open. Walking track links up to mountain bike tracks so we went to what looked like the exit.

After half hour or so we found a road and followed it. Linked up to the pineapple track carport and a group of a dozen or so were preparing to ascend up the steep part.

So basically it for mew explore. Walked down the road a bit to the Ross creek tracks and spend almost an hour walking around there. 5-10 minute drive back to the house.

Local botanic gardens.



I like this bit.



We picnic up here.


And baby ducks.

Long weekend exercising at beech, walking tracks and gardens each day.
