Long Weekend!

Good Morning Chickens!


Hope you are all ready for the awesome long weekend ahead! Unfortunately rain has been forecasted for the weekend ( not sure how accurate the weather service is these days), but there are still tons of things to do. Movies, DVD's, ten pin bowling, reading...


Just a heads up that there will be no blog posts until Wednesday next week due to the fact that I will be in Victoria Falls. Not to worry, will post plenty of pictures and tell you all about it!


If you really are at loose ends, give this great lasagne with a twist a try! Thanks to Nigella for this recipe!
