Coober Pedy - Australia's Opal Capital
Living underground and mining opals: a much
better life style than you might think!

The hard part would be moving a sandstone mountain in next door.

tired as hell. been busy going all around to places with my sister. this is only day 1 of 3. tomorrow i work so idk if imma spend that much time with them but they have a very busy day tomorrow. Monday is going to be hell. my sister wants to wake up at fucking 2am so we can go to the beach that isn't even a 20minute drive and wait 8 hours to get a paper boat to float for that evening at the event at night. it will be busy for sure but getting up at 2am in the fucking morning and trying to kill 8 hours is OVER KILL. by 8am the line will be LONG so we gotta at least leave by 7am or 6am we can kill 4 hours more easily. it's a first come first serve thing and they only make so many boats.

yea man im tired af. i texted my coworker to make sure we going in tomorrow cause i gotta wake up at 4am but i dont want to wake up early tomorrow if we not going in. can't do anything if nobody went in today to pull out the meat thats why. i also dont got any clothes to really hike in or shoes for that matter lol but meh it's not a hard trail anyways and we in Hawaii so if anything i can hike in my damn bare feet. i'll be alright though probably will knock out early on monday night if anything recoup some hours of sleep i lost. either way i look at it i got to work monday or sunday so if can't work sunday im working monday for sure.

I also love to bake, my cake game is getting strong, it gives me and my kids bonding time.
I also give them to the people that give me work, sometimes I think they give me work because of my baked goods
This was the last cake we baked, I f’d the icing a bit.
There nothing wrong with a 35 year old Tradie baking rainbow cakes!!!
By the way if you get bored check out Jemma Cupcake on YouTube the girls got skills, my daughter loves her and she is easy on the eyes

I'm at 7700 ft elevation. A few things may have went wrong.
1. Baking powder best by date of Sept. 2017
2. Added an extra egg - modified 1,2,3,4 cake but the eggwhites werent stiff enough or I folded them in too much.
3. Added 1/3 Cup flower - I did not adjust the liquid, should have added a little more milk.
4. I thought there was too much batter, so I didnt pour all of it in the 13x9.

Nothing wrong with callused hands and an apron. Just be sure to let the girls do the mortar next time.

I think the weather man is jerking our chain, I know what "showers" are, and this ain't it...Hadn't planned on doing anything today anyway so not a big deal, I just miss sunshine. Low 60's today and rain, but hitting mid 80's next week.

Yah our promised inch of rain fizzled into 1/4 inch of cold drizzle
cold dark drizzle

For the three months it's 120 down here I'm going to remind you of these lovely days you wished away from me! It was dark, cool and windy last night and I slept like a baby. I'm going to miss that.

If only we could alternate the hot&cold days. Prepare for much mooing from me when it's hot.

Nice! When I was in high school one of my hobbies was cake decorating. Later on, I sold wedding cakes during my postpartum period to make a little extra cash. I loved the Lambeth method. You can read about it here:

Don't you dare, you're the one who wished this lovely weather into the cornfield. So you should at least pretend to enjoy 100+

Hey, I didn't think it would actually work! Why does everyone always blame the perpetrator?

At least when it gets stupid hot here it USUALLY doesn't last for more than a couple weeks then the "delta breeze" kicks in and cools us a bit. The good ol' thermal low...

Modesto has nice delta breeze action. Up here, not so much.
