Leftovers


We buy too much, we eat too much… and still there are leftovers.

On Sunday, we even went out to a restaurant and consumed some more! Nobu is Japanese and very up-market:


We ordered their take on bento boxes, which came in double-decker size, with a cold section on top and a hot section below! Very clever of Nobu, and makes things easier in the kitchen:



Just when I couldn’t eat another thing, they brought me a birthday surprise:



On New Year’s Eve, I didn’t want to stay up late. The fireworks would be noisy. I did a swap with E, who invited her friends for a sleepover at Burswood. I’m sure they had a good time as they went to bed at 4.00 am.

Meanwhile, C cooked curry at Como. There was a dry curry of cauliflower and potatoes and a wet curry of lentils:



We were up early on New Year’s Day, taking Rocky for a walk by the river:



A 39 degree day was forecast, so we were out and about before breakfast:



Then we set to work netting the fig tree. There is a constant battle with rats which run along the top of the fence and eat every single fruit that they can get their paws on. Not in 2025, if I can help it!
