It has been a bit of an ordeal. She's 83, and apparently her back was a real mess. Even had frayed nerves that had to be patched. (And here we've always thought "frayed nerves" was just a metaphor!) I'm so pleased that I'm free at present to go help her. Thanks, Sue. It has been a bit of an ordeal. She’s 83, and apparently her back was a real mess. Even had frayed nerves that had to be patched.

The British TBLS is the same as the US one. Curious really. Funny thing though is that while the cup difference in a metric one, the TBLS seems to be particularly Aussie.

And yes, you're right about the tablespoons. Just as the cup in imperial measure is 2 oz more than a US cup, so, too, the tablespoons are that little bit larger, so one needs to use a bit more than a level US tablespoon. But worth the effort.

While I do understand the need and desire for additional sources of energy, it would have been a pity to lose such an astonishing wilderness area. Good on you.

I adore ANZAC biscuits. I hope airmiles didn't substitute nuts!! The coconut isn't strong - to my mind anyhow. I love how you say 2 slightly overflowing TBS of Lyle's golden syrup. I assume this is your way of getting around the fact that our TBLS are 20 mls and your yours 15 mls? Anyhow, glad you love these too. LOL am looking at some old posts of yours.

It was one of those wonderful situations where citizen lobbying won out. And we proudly had a yellow triangular “No Dams” sticker affixed to our car.
