I did alot of it over the weekend. Reconnected with my nephews and my sister and her husband. I think we have both mellowed over the years and it feels like we have come full circle. The stuff that we have been going through is over and it seems like we are on the same page. Read more
Had a great day yesterday! Yasu was mostly detoxing so he slept most of the day apart from playing baseball in the morning, and I had the cooking bug.
As I was going out I got to early and made pizza with salad, cous-cous, and potato bake which we had at 4:30pm as I had to leave at 5:30pm.
I also made matcha mini-cupcakes with cream cheese icing which turned out pretty yummy.
Pizza, salad, cous-cous & potato bake
I left home on the 5:30pm train and made good time. On the way to the theatre at Burswood Casino I came across a bush and all these birds were sqawking and flying in and out of it, I got closer and noticed they were Rainbow Lorikeets. I silently crept up to the bush because they were all over it and managed to take this photo! When they heard the camera they all flew off but luckily I got a pic of this one. There is actually another two over to the right hiding in some bushes if you look closely too.

I’m sure a few people walking past were wondering why I was taking a photo of birds in a bush! haha! But I just couldn’t resist as they were so pretty and talking very loudly!!
I then met my friend at the theatre it was his third time to see Kelvin Cruickshank live. The show was really good, about 300 people were there in total, mostly alot of English people, the majority of people who got readings had an accent. I knew I wasn’t going to get a reading before I left home, but It didn’t worry me as I was just there to see him work and see how he does it. I was blown over at how accurate he is!
Anyway, my friend F has become a friend of Kelvin’s, every time he comes to Perth they hang out before or after the show. We were invited to stay and wait for Kelvin to come out and he gladly took a photo with me. He was so warm and friendly, he’s not up himself like alot of other tv mediums.
Kelvin and me
He also asked me about my life and we talked about readings and my work and it was so cool! And really great to get his ideas and get advice from him too :) He is so down to earth, I say it again, because he is! You know most people who are so famous as Kelvin wouldn’t stop and ask someone else how they are, or how their work is going, so he just amazes me.
This could be his last time here for a while as he said he has a bub on the way, due in January. I think he wants to head home for a bit of a break.
Anyway, it was a great night! F offered me a lift home as he found he only lives a little bit away from me, about 15 minutes by car. We gabbed all the way home about psychic stuff and I was home before I knew it. :)
and let myself be sucked into the whole Halloween thing.
I couldn’t help it. I found this cute pumpkin plate when I was shopping today and thought how great it would be with little cupcakes on it. Sucker!!
I was majorly surprised to see how much Halloween stuff was sold out, and now they are selling costumes, wigs, deco’s, candy etc etc. Why is it so big this year?
I don’t think Yasu even knew it was Halloween either, because while we were eating dinner the doorbell rang, and he’s like, someone’s at the door… and I was like, no, it’s Halloween, it’ll be trick or treaters…and he just looked at me blankly like what the hell is a trick or treater… and no, we didn’t answer the door.
Anyway, I cooked dinner tonight, roast chicken with ORANGE coloured rice, and some potato salad. Yasu didn’t even blink an eye. He just exclaimed how yummy the rice looked but he didn’t ask why it was orange. I put orange lentils in the rice too, which gave it a bit of a different flavour, it came out very nice and fluffy.
I also made some cupcakes for dessert.
“Pumpkins” – Orange icing with M&M’s
“Ghosts” – Cream cheese icing
They were popular, Yasu had 3 in a matter of 5 minutes…and still wanted more! I used a plain cupcake recipe also mixed in some vanilla essence and custard powder, which gave it a really nice flavour and meant that they were soft and moist. It basically goes good with any topping.

Bitten!
I used blue food colouring to give it a bit of colour, I just swirled it around in the mixture. :)
Happy Halloween!
