2nd January, 2024

A sunny day, reached 25, which is hot for most in Tassie.  Poor Finn needed the air conditioner as his furry coat makes it hard to cool down inside where there isn't much of a breeze. Outside there was a steady wind, getting pretty high by evening. Tomorrow is due to be 27 and that's going to make many complain, but there should be a cool change and some rain by evening.

Today I did another coat of paint on the front door of the craft room, cleaned out the air hose on the milking machine and thinned the fruit on the pink lady apple. Geoff cut out the cotoneaster that had taken root in Calab's back yard, that will have to be burned.

Sarge had his annual dental check and clean, as he doesn't eat hard food any more to clean his teeth. Tayla across the road brought over some wallaby bones for the dogs, Finn claimed a tail and is likely to defend that for the next week.

I made up the filling for the pastry danishes I am hoping to cook. I am using spreadable cream cheese as I don't have a mixmaster to beat the ordinary cream cheese. In order to not have it melt and run off when being baked it's now in the freezer in two batches of 16 blobs each. 

One has vanilla and rose, and the other has coconut, rum and lemon with chocolate drops. The vanilla and rose ones will have strawberry crunch sprinkled over them. When it comes time to cook the pastries the vanilla and rose ones will have berries added and the coconut, rum and lemon will have mango.
