Someone around here …
REALLY likes Daniel Craig!
The countdown continues
As is I guess standard for this time of year, things are hectic.
The little doors on the Advent calendar are being opened one by one.
Friday night was the end of a long week, and we ended up first in Cockle Bay,
then over in Darling Harbour where we had tapas for dinner
with Sangria.
Over the weekend I put up our tree. With a little help from Himself,
it was decorated.
I thought this the perfect accompaniment.
There’s a gold ghoti somewhere … oh yes. Near the Electric Bass.
After all that excitement, and in an effort to escape the unseasonable weather, it was time for a bit of a snuggle for some warmth!
34 sleeps until Santa
… And all the shops know it.
As is the tradition in these parts, once the decorations go into the shops a friend and I go every year and spend some time analysing the year’s tree trimming trends. It is often hilarious, and not a little scary!
Himself doesn’t get it. He is just mostly horrified by the whole shebang. I’m putting it down to some as yet undefined childhood trauma. Silly duffer.
This year if you follow the twit stream you will have been a part of some of it as it happened. For those that didn’t, here is a quick recap. Apologies in advance for the fuzzy nature of the phone photos. It’s hard to keep still while you’re laughing.
Himself isn’t convinced of my alternative plan to a wreath on the door. But I ask you, how can you go wrong with a purple glitter stags head to welcome your guests to the festivities?
This year everything seems to be about glitter and mirror balls. Does that scream disco to you? Can we get some fabulous Santas in here?
See what I mean about the glitter? (a puffer fish, seriously. Can you think of anything more giftmas? I bought a pink one!)
The DJ’s window always come to the party and are worth a visit. This year they out did themselves with socks on sheep …
while … (wait for it) … sheperds washed their socks by night!
That’s knee slapping humour right there folks! Did you all slap your knees?
With that, we moved on back to the new food court and tried a new place. This one.
and got rare roast beef, with onion relish. roasted vegetables, and duck fat roasted potatoes.
TO DIE FOR! And under $20!
Busy
It feels like giftmas and the end of the year is just around the corner!
The day job is ramping up in a way that at this time of the year always makes me wonder if others have some inside information about the new year being the end of the world, and they need to get everything wrapped up before whatever it is befalls us all! *cue flailing*
But in amongst it all we’ve kept a sane grasp on reality and managed to fit in a few cocktails,
do some giftmas shopping in the new Pitt St Mall (food court is to die for!),
I began a new cardigan (because that’s what you need in Summer),
and there has been much waking up late and snuggling with the kittuns on weekends.
Priorities, people! We have them!
Summer time …
… and the living is easy … !
We bought a new BBQ!
Except that according to Webber it’s a Baby Q. Feeds six people though!
So what do you do with such a thing, but invite people over!
I can’t wait to do more of this simple fuss free relaxing entertaining this season!
