On the second day of Christmas I took myself for one of my daytripper excursions, but as I’ve already written about that, I’ll do a quick review of our Christmas Day instead. We were 14 for early dinner on Christmas Day, in our little tiny house. The plan was to eat outside, sandflies notwithstanding. However,…
In an attempt to atone for the excess of food consumed on Christmas Day, today I walked across the historic railway bridge that spans the Georges River between Oatley and Como on the South Coast/Illawarra railway line. It’s a popular walk and I often see power walkers, joggers, families and cyclists using the bridge as…
When the kids were little, I used to read to them at night and in December I used to try and find a different Christmas story, or a chapter about Christmas from a bigger book to read each night. It was a challenge trying to find something different to read every night so we did…
I love a bit of Christmas cake. Mum makes me one every year (thanks mum!) and because the kids don’t eat it, I get to share it with just D. All of it! Unless we have visitors, then I share with them too. This year my cake arrived at the beginning of December and I…
Our Christmas tree this year is tiny but effective and my thanks to Bookworm for going to the effort in the middle of all of our unpacking chaos. The new house is possibly not big enough for our old Christmas tree and anyway, it’s still buried in the garage with everything else that ends up…
Someone shared this on Facebook this week and I love it – so I wanted to put it somewhere I might be able to find it again someday.
I don’t really do Christmas cards. I used to – and I still love getting them but somewhere in my busy life a few years ago sending them fell off the list of things to do before Christmas. Every year I say I’ll get organised and send some and then every year I’m in this…
More Star Wars – and what can be better than combining Star Wars with Lego. And a Christmas theme? I’m in awe of these little Lego movies, there’s some clever people out there.
I like Christmas lights. I mostly like going and looking at other people’s Christmas lights and we’ve had many lovely family evenings over the years driving around looking – even better is to park the car and walk around if there’s a few houses together. It’s nice community time, other folk out for an evening…
Enough said really.
What's next?
