Nice day

Nice day - starting at the Canberra Farmers' markets all crispy with frost and wispy mist  in the air and upon the hills, home for fresh bagels and homemade jam, coffee. Off out to Farrer Ridge with Violet and friend to walk around one of the many urban bushland reserves found across Canberra whilst they battle with an orienteering challenge. Kangaroos exploding through the bush like wasps from a bottle as they are disturbed by a 100 or so orienteerers charging around. Lunch outside in the wintry sun at Silo - Mark: tripa andulusian, me; ocean trout with crispy skin on cabbage followed by coffee and tart. Book shop and cook shop stop home again to read the papers and contemplate the next attack in the kitchen. Perhaps it might be prep for cumquat marmalade. Nice day.
