Baking...
I was reading blogs this morning when I saw a simple recipe for Oatmeal Shortbread Cookies. I had all the ingredients, so I hopped straight to it...with excellent results!!
Then I thought I may as well make some sweet potato chips
A very enjoyable way to begin a Sunday - listening to Radio National and tidying up the kitchen at the same time....

No images today - sorry!!!
Head Case - a TV show; not so much scripted as ad-libbed, about a crazy shrink. Her clients are well known celebrities. Awful. Could barely watch one episode. Very unfunny.
Michael Jackson's This is it - a really well produced documentary about the preparations for the show he was going to do in 2009. Great singing and dancing, awesome insider view of the technical side of a big show. I'm not an MJ fan but I loved it.
WALL.E - the cutest robot who spends his days compacting trash on a hugely polluted planet falls in love with another robot Eve sent from outer space to scan the earth for signs of life. Pixar at its best. Funny and heartwarming with a great message. Very enjoyable.
The Insider - what a wonderful movie. Enthralling acting, perfectly scored sound track, excellent camera work all contribute to make an amazing story even better. Russell Crowe and Al Pacino - both should have won Oscars.

I love Frontline and have watched the series before. It is an amazingly clever and funny satire on current affairs shows. Rob Sitch plays Mike Moore, the anchor, to perfection - self involved, dim but cunning, persistent and not above selling out others to stay at the top and keep earning the big bucks. The rest of the cast is also right on target. This is the third (and last) series. Very very good.
Samantha Who? was a TV show about a woman who wakes up after a hit and run accident and has retrograde anmesia. She realises she was not a very nice person before her accident and has the chance to make things better. Her parents are hilarious and her on again off again boyfriend is dishy, and she has 2 quite different close friends - Andrea (on-dree-a) the ultimate good time girl, and Dena, whom she hasn't been nice to since primary school. Good writing and funny. This is the first series.
