Coolday Saturday

Mutterings continued.

Lovely cool morning, overcast, Baudins cockatoos overhead - almost winter. It's a little humid but there's a nice breeze coming through the window.

I've been props purchasing today. Director Milson wants check tablecloths - unfortunately they're out of fashion this season so I've had to buy material to make some up. Cheaper but less convenient.

I'm making stir fry chicken noodles for dinner. Very quick and easy, with the added yum power of sesame oil.
