Joono funny you mentioned changing your mind about downsizing your Christmas tree, I've been thinking the same. Much as it's a battle to get our tree up, it does look so good now that it's done, so I think I'll keep it 

 

 

was just looking at your dolls' house pic. look at all the detail, even down to the little Christmas cards on the mantle. lovely!

Good morning everyone.  That's really funny how they are doing that Prim!  

 

I am going to need a nap this afternoon.  The heat must have really knocked me around.  I was just watching the end of a silly movie last night and I was going to go to bed but then Ali started and I got interested in that.  I made it until 2 am and then decided I already know how it was going to end.

 

41 today so a siesta will be in order anyway.  

Good morning Stringers 

 

Prim I think you are going shopping with your daughter today - have a super day.

 

Deb - you are definitely our resident Stringer social butterfly ........ your stamina is enviable even though you are tired today.  Enjoy your street party tonight.

 

Been busy this morning ..... swim/gym/local market ..... and now to settle down in airconditioned comfort to watch the cricket.

Good morning Stringers 🙂 I see around the traps some who aren't having an enjoyable Sunday. I hope things get a bit better for them.

It is hot here and I'm sheltering inside until it cools down a bit. I just made myself a coffee, I bought the wrong type...I bought little plastic pod things that are supposed to be used in some kind of machine...so I peeled off the aluminium lid and put it in my cup. Now I've got crunchy, yukky coffee lol

I wish they made tiny espresso machines. I do have one of those Italian stovetop ones but I'm not very good at using it, so it tends to get a burnt taste 😄

Nothing worse than 'crunchy' coffee Karen 

 

Cricket has started!

 

Catch up in the drinks breaks lol

I have an admission to make................I think I am on Santa's naughty list.

 

Hubby is working today............and I have snuck one of my Christmas presents......................The Best of the Eagles CD.................and I have it going up full.

 

*goes off singing Hotel California*.............................................

lol you'd better put it back before he comes home Flashe

 

 

silly me thought I wouldn't have to go to the shops again today, but I had to get some things for my platter for tonight.

 

and I forgot something..... so I'm just about to go again

 

don't you just hate it when you do that  :

 

 

the shops are so busy today too

I will Deb...................but I have to listen to the best of Nickleback yet too...............*bad Flashie*........

Norti Flashie! I'm on the bad list too...I ate my son's Santa chocolate and I'm not going to buy another one because I'll probably eat it too. I haven't eaten his chocolate coins ... yet.

....................I am unrepentant...........dances off singing...................*there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes......................*
