Friday Five

[tielan]

thefridayfive; switched around for the past winter.

1) What did you plant?

Sydney's a 'warm temperate' climate, our winters might drop to 0C, but most things can take it. So I planted a lot of 'winterveg' from an Aussie POV: broccoli, peas, daikon radishes, beetroot, rocket and mustard and lettuces, cabbages, garlic...

It's all doing pretty well, considering that the winter wasn't quite cold enough to give the broccoli or cabbages a head. We got some broccolini and I'll have to work out how to make a nice pickle with the cabbage leaves...

2) What was your favorite summer winter food?

I don't think there's anything that quite beats my mother's stewed pork with yam. We had that for my sisters' birthday a couple of weeks ago, along with other fond favourites...and a beautiful butter cake with buttercream icing to finish off!

3) What song will remind you of this summer winter?

I don't think I have a song for this winter. Maybe anything by the Holderness family who did some amazing filks early on in iso. Haven't seen them in a while, though.

4) What was your favorite body of water to be in?

Since it's winter...the bathtub! Only a couple of times during the winter, though, and mostly when the muscles ached too much from hockey/gardening.

5) What's been your favorite outfit?

I have very much like the tracky-daks and hoodie combo. It worked while unemployed, and then even once employed but working-from-home, it was still good. Except now I don't know that too many of my work clothes fit anymore...
