It's the new year! It's happy! I'm happy!
You may have been wondering, 'what has happened to Glen and Felicity? Have I missed important developments?' and stuff like that. Well, you don't need to worry! Nothing has happened! Our new slab has yet to arrive! Nothing, Nothing, Nothing! Get it while it's hot!
Okay, so no concrete. What's a couple of more weeks delay, huh? Well, the thing is, we're getting the wood for the frame delivered on the 3rd or, as I call it, the magical warping curly post and the carpenters are turning up on the 9th. Often busy people are annoyed when their time is wasted (Not unlike how we get annoyed when years are flushed down the toilet) so I hope the carpenters will just go 'Oh, those silly Rossdale guys, they got us in early, lets sit at home and while away the time until we can come back to this friendly site and practice our profession' in an nearly-believable but obviously faked non-descript European accent and affably slap each other across the back and smile.
No photo of the block this time. Just refer to an older one and imagine some yellow sticky-tape around the pipes.
Bought a PSP. rx. Felicity hogs it all the time. In fact, I'm writing this while she's playing it.
BTW, this year rx. I get a house.
And Steve and Linda get a youngling.
Don't forget to breath people.
(now that's a weird mental image)

The Brownie Recipe!
400g cooking chocolate
0.6666666666667 cups of olive oil
2 cups of sugar
4 eggs
1.5 cup of plain flour
1.25 teaspoons of baking powder
Nuts optional, but 1 cup is ok.
1) Melt about a third of the chocolate with the olive oil.
2) Stir in the sugar and eggs, don't keep melting them!
3) Stir in the baking powder and flour.
4) Chop up the remaining chocolate (and nuts, if used). You could even use different chocolate, if you were cunning.
5) Stir in above-mentioned chocolate and nuts.
6) Oh yeah, you should've greased a slice tray by now. Do that. Rectangular is good.
7) You should also have preheated your oven to about 180c. Why didn't you read these instructions all the way through before you started? You idiot.
8) Bake it for 35 to 40 minutes.
9) Remove tray from oven, and faceplant, consuming the brownies as they burn your face with piping hot chocolatey goodness. Or, you can wait for them to cool a bit, then cut them up.
Remember: With great brownies, comes great responsibility.
