What a nice weekend, but very busy! It's not easy to make food to so much people!
Have a nice time! :)
Yay for DH helping to clean the house! Hope you have a great weekend with your visitors... and that you get a bit of sunshine while they are there!
I like the sound of that government!
have a great weekend.
Have a great weekend!
Love the sausage sizzle, we did that recently too. Only 6 sausages, just the two of us. Say, I like that...petticoat government! Yeah!
LOL!!! My DH was under 'petticoat government' yesterday as we're expecting visitors too and with it being so wet and nothing to do outside so he should... LOL!!!
Everything planned at your place sounds like loads of fun, have a great weekend with all your visitors...
Take Care

Enjoy, enjoy your long weekend. Everything sounds like a great deal of fun, and housecleaning with a name like "petticoat government" has got to be lighthearted enough for a few laughs while you are scrubbing and dusting. Do your quests help out with chores on the farm? I know my family would be disappointed not to.
Boy the sausages look good. That is worth cleaning out a stall or two.
Cheerio
sounds like so much fun - i wish you lived closer to me so we could come too ;)

Oh, those snags look good on the barby! My hubby is planning on buying a good camp oven so we can do cook-ups down the back paddock.
Your having a crowd of people visit and I'm hoping not to see a soul! No netball this weekend means I don't have to leave the house! Yay!
Cheers - Joolz

Oh those sausages look great! I have just been having a hop around the knitting, crochet, sewing population of blogland as I have my morning cuppa ... and found your lovely blog.
I hope you enjoy your LWE.
Sounds like a perfect way to spend a long weekend Chooky...have fun.
I bet you are all having a wonderful time - love the idea of that 'petticoat government' - I don't wear too many skirts let alone petticoats, so therein lies the problem, I guess!

Hope you survived the weekend. It was cold wet and windy here.
I like the name of your government! Yum, those sizzling sausages look good!!
thanks again for having me!! U have now hooked me on the patchwork bug! And DH does that stand for Dear husband? lol Looking forward to our patching weekend soon!! very excited!!
Some years ago, I explained to my children what the term "petticoat government" meant, when they had overheard it in conversation. Some time later, when I had asked them to do some chores, I heard my daughter say to her brothers, that's "pants parliament for you"!
My husband often landed the job as "chute boss" at many of the rodeos in the Kimberley., West Aust. Arriving home after a weekend away, one of the staff asked my daughter how it all went. "OK", she said, "Dad was the boss shooter"!!
I enjoy your blog.
I remember feeling very benevolent towards the Queen as she gave us a holiday every year when I grew up in Oz. It's not celebrated at all here in Britain.
I love your new cattle, they'd look great as a basis for a black and white quilt....
