Fun Stuff: December 2011 Archives
Coming soon.
Maybe next year.
New and old. I actually like the feel of the old one a lot better. And then the sweetie tells me he wants a random camera to take to Japan next year. Hrmm.
About as much as I could see of the last lunar eclipse
Every year when Carols in the Domain come around (always the Saturday before Christmas unless Christmas is on a Sunday in which case they're eight days before - since they never compete with the Christmas Eve Carols by Candlelight in Melbourne.. moving on..), I'm reminded of the year I went to Luc and Cynthia's wedding (up Sydney Tower!!) and got to see the Carols (and fireworks) from up the tower. It was pretty damned cool!
Happy anniversary for tomorrow guys :)
Well not hugely stormy here, it was a lot worse further south.
Took this this evening. It's really only interesting at the beginning.
Didn't do much the rest of the day. Just pottering around the house really.
Oh, and stayed up the watch the eclipse last night. Saw the beginning of it (the penumbra stage) but then the clouds closed in and I missed the rest :(
Yesterday we had our section Christmas party by the lake. Rain that was forecast during the week never eventuated, so it was a perfectly pleasant afternoon. Lyn and I spent our budget of $370, and I thought there was going to be a *tonne* of leftovers, but in the end it wasn't so bad.
Of course I took lots of photos of the local birds.
Today I went and helped setup the "family" Christmas party.
Got to have a quick go on the jumping castle before they'd finished inflating it.
After we'd finished setting up I went for a wander around, and had a go on the dodgem cars, since I missed out last time because the queue was too long.
They'd double booked the hall which was a bit unfortunate, but not a big disaster. Got to see the bride arrive (to a full brass band playing "All you need is love").
One year I'll go on the horse and cart..
I think my favourite thing was the "Patting Paddock", so many cute animals :)
Just got back from unloading the truck. Phewf. (Although not nearly a long a day as the others!)
