It is going to be another hot day here in Melbourne (3rd or 4th in a row - last night was unbearably hot) and tonight DS2 is having a birthday BBQ - about 30 young adults over (thank goodness they are all over 18 now so I don't have to worry about them drinking illegally). This should be lots of fun as he has lovely young men and women as his friends, however hot spells like this in Melbourne are usually broken by a storm - which is what they are predicting for tonight! Oh dear, hope that it doesn't rain in the house again!
Now, I am going to get out today's UCJC project - lovely!
Don't forget to check out my two giveaways and the other great giveaways listed on my sidebar.

Update: Phew! Really busy here getting ready for DS2's Birthday BBQ. DS2 had to work all day and only got home at 4.45 - the BBQ starts at 6 - guess who has to do all of the work? You guessed it - DH and I. So, not much stitching getting done. At least it seems to have cooled down a little, still hot but not 40 degrees - thank goodness.

Further update -- nearly midnight, the party has been a great success - all of the food was pronounced delicious by the young adults. DH and I are exhausted from all of the BBQing and cleaning up. But good news we did get a couple of hours of TV watching in - we are watching a new series "Homeland" - most intriguing - and I got some stitching done - yay!
Off to bed now, Good night,

Thanks, Lesleyanne. He is 19 - can't quite believe it. He is my baby - but not anymore!

What a great finish, and a good start too. I'm doing the Crazy Challenge and this weeks starts will be easy, like you I don't start work until next Monday. Once work is back on then its going to be a challenge!
What a wonderful start to the UCJC! Congrats on your finish #1. Wow! Kids are drinking at age 18? They have to be 21 here in the USA.
Has Downton Abbey been on TV in Australia?. The Christmas Special was amazing. Love Maggie Smith.
Love your stitching too.
