'Back to normal'
2013-01-16 16:37
...is the theme Nicole (http://www.blog.windgefluester.net) set for the second half of January.
For an old un-employed atheist woman like me there is no back to normal because there is nothing else than normal. No Christmas decoration to put away. No recovery from holidays. One day is just like the other. So the only option is to document something 'normal' in my daily activities. And this is cooking. So, let's commence cooking.
Slice mushrooms
and onions
and put them into a hot pan with some vegetable oil.
When they have reduced their size continue cooking with adding hot water
season with salt, pepper and grated nutmegs.
.
Meanwhile the Tagliatelle are put into the boiling water.
Final touches with sour creme
butter
and - of course - Tabasco.
Enjoy!

'Track my item - Australia Post'
2013-01-16 09:45
Yesterday, yes YESTERDAY (15.01.2013 at 12:30), I lodged my application for the visa at the nearby post office by registered letter. Now, I'm rubbing my eyes, on the 16.01.2013 at 07:24, the parcel has been delivered. Unbelievable. Last time it took 10 days because they first sent it to New South Wales. The Lord - er - the Australian Post - moves in mysterious ways.
Amendment: 15:55
I'm speechless. I received an email from the Immigration Department ..."Acknowledgement of valid application for a ...

Not so much suprising - they charged already my credit card:
"A receipt for this payment is attached to this letter."
They also included a Bridging Visa in case the processing time exceeds my current valid visa that expires in May.
Now waiting. Official processing time: 9 months.
