Casting a Long Shadow

I found this photo of Sydney from a while ago. She was casting a long shadow that morning.

Vegemite is a very individual thing: toast [seedy/grain, lightly toasted] needs to be warm, definitely butter, not marg ~ & spread thin; very thin. With coffee.

Now I want some Vegemite on toast!

I disagree with the Jackman method.

For me it's wholemeal seedy bread, lightly toasted, cooled (that's always the most contentious part of the MJ method), thick butter-not-marge, thin vegemite. Paired with a cup of tea. Perfect.

I love Vegemite spread thick on hot, buttered English muffins!

Seedy bread is good too, especially with thinly grated cheese on top of the Vegemite

Tsuki's tail is really unusual! It's like a banner.

Looks more like a flag pole from that angle. I never noticed how stiff and upright it was before

( and yes, I'm talking about Tsuki's tail ByBob. Get your mind out of the gutter! )

Well I agree Vegemite is a poor substitute for the British version - Marmite.

Marmite has a highly accurate advertising slogan - "You either love it or you hate it".
It is absolutely foul!!

I just want Hugh Jackman

Yep... right there with you!

Marmite, Vegemite, Bovril......I'm a Marmite person.
Better still on hot buttered wholemeal toast is this.

If you like a taste bud assault the above will do it.

I've given up bothering about the stuff that goes wrong on BYC. I go back a couple of pages to hopefully pick up any posts I've missed.

I love this. My husband would have a heart attack if I let them come in snd out of the house whenever they wanted. And... the flies. We’d have lots of flies in the house if it were wide open.

It requires a particular type of dwelling to work....not to mention a particular type of person to allow it.
It used to be a very common occurrence in the farm houses here. There are still others around here that have chickens ducks and goats wandering in and out of the houses. Climate has a big influence and of course whether or not the house is part of a farm or smallholding.
Believe it or not, the most difficult thing to cope with is the noise. Two roosters crowing and seven hens shouting in a small space is pretty loud.
