Posts from ‘December, 2008’

In South Australia, we don’t have Boxing Day, we have Proclamation Day because South Australia was proclaimed as a state on the 26th of December. At least, that’s what I remember without Googling.
Today meant more food and more presents as we had a Christmas Lunch with A’s family. I had made a pavlova […]

Willow was so excited to see her stocking - it contained little bits and pieces we bought from the Windmill shop. They included a ribbon stick, a glitter stick, a fishing set, some toy cars, some folding binoculars, squirty creatures for the bath. I brought Dexter out from his room and after unpacking her […]

My vegetarian friends should probably stop reading here.
My uncle works at an abbatoir - our present from him and his partner was a 10kg side of beef. Plus a carton of eggs from their chooks.

I’m at uni again, trying to knock the next assessment piece over. It’s due on the 5th of January, which seems like eons away, that’s next year! I know that the time between now and then will go quickly though, so while I have the time, I’ll get it done!
