I really can't believe it's Christmas again I'm sure the last one was just a couple of months ago...talk of turkey and ham tonight so I have a feeling the fridge and freezer will be full of with a large frozen bird and pig tomorrow...now I have no choice the tree will be removed from it's hiding place and put in a place where it will get on my nerves enough to put it up and decorate it...tomorrow I shall sit down and write all of the cards for posting on Wednesday...the family have placed their orders so Mrs. Santa now knows what to shop for, hopefully one hectic day should do it...then the wrapping, the bit I enjoy the most...I'm lousy at it but I just love that brightly coloured curling ribbon which makes presents almost impossible to open...revenge of Mrs. Santa. I have made an attempt to paint my first Christmas card posted on the gallery and which will replace the snake at last...fortunately we havn't seen any more but will still watch the ground for a while just in case. Went out to the works outing yesterday and had a lovely lunch at Rockingham Yacht Club, right on the ocean but sheltered in a bay...a great place where we took our Daughter to swim when she was little. I thought I was having computer problems finding it difficult to log onto just about everything and not receiving any emails...it seems the lovely email enabler with emicons which I had downloaded had stolen all of my mail and today I found 15 today so I've been busy catching up after uninstalling it...so beware of pretty emicons. The weather is warming and the flowers are blooming...we are still getting a nice sea breeze in the evening to cool us down or as we West Aussies call it "The Fremantle Doctor" for very good reason. I'll post the beach picture hope you enjoy it.
