Indoor and Outdoor Hobbies

We have been watching The Handmaid's Tale. So, it seems, have many other people judging by this sign outside the Gosford Anglican Church, equating repressive legislation with the fiction regime of Gilead in Margaret Atwood's tale of dystopian society. I made the cross-stitch for a friend's birthday - we watched each episode of the show and avidly discussed it - and we particularly liked the episode in which 'muffins mean yes'.

Him Outdoors got all creative with his designated night's cooking. There's a duck breast under all that. 

Another nice morning's walk for breakfast - this time through The Pinnacles to Rocksalt.

Our next puzzle begins to take shape...

And things are blooming in the garden, even though it's mid-winter. 

The tracks and trails around Black Mountain and through Aranda Bushland are perfect for biking at this time of year.
