the best thing about christmas is the holiday that follows

eat

what a better way to enjoy a beautiful summers evening than to eat watermelon.

best way to do this
1. strip off
2. go outside
3. go for it

rugs ???

someone please tell me, where are all the cool rugs in australia?

a chair

does a desk chair need to swivel and be on wheels?
because i can't find a good looking one

the tree

never got into the whole tree thing maybe because it was just the two of us and it wasn't like we had christmas at ours so why bother, oh and we didn't have the room.
but this year we opt to go all out and get the real thing, oh what fun we had hunting for the tree we chopped down - oh so nasty.
must say it looks pretty perfect to me, even better when the lights are on.
lola loves it, moose couldn't care less.

here is the driveway, dirty already, no wonder - notice the piles of dirt everywhere.
and yes it's a plain concrete driveway but when you are laying 170sqm that's about all the budget can handle
just image it with the house being white and some nice gates and the garden done, i think it will look pretty good and don't you think it's a kids haven, soon it will be scattered with bikes before i know it or with all the husbands toys.

it's been awhile since my last post, where does the time go?
a few things have happened

• driveway is done, just in time before the rain hit
• we have a new bed - at long last - early christmas present
• the girl is now 10 months and standing by herself - she thinks she is fabulous - so do i
• i have bought christmas decorations - just waiting for a tree
• half my christmas shopping is done - hope to do some more today
• we planted two trees in the backyard

mmm unsure what else, sometime things tend to blur together
