summer holidays

today's heat reminds me of 1978. when over the summer i'd lounge on my nanna's couch with a glass of sparkling cola, watching gentle ben and the beachcombers.


met ed at crown for avatar 3D. i really enjoyed it - i was swept along with the story and the visual effects. the banana choc top was pretty good too. :)

25 dec 2009

a quiet christmas this year. by choice. there was still presents to unwrap, a chicken to roast, movies to watch, naps to be had. all in all, a good day.


part of the parcel of gifts from my mum....


pre-requisite chocolate almonds. i get these every year in memory of my dad.


and face painting. what's a celebration without it?

merry christmas.

bonbon silliness

ms natcam kept me entertained texting a multitude of cracker jokes, so here they are:

what does the word minimum mean? a very small mother
what's the most popular garden magazine? weeder's digest
what do you get if you cross a skeleton with a famous detective? sherlock bones

but wait, there's more...

what do they sing at a snowman's birthday? freeze a jolly good fellow
what kind of sweet goes swinging through the jungle? tarzi pan
what school subject are snakes best at? hiss-tory

i know... what's christmas without the bonbon jokes. :)
