Surprise

We opened a box at the Cafe today, not normally terribly interesting, fridges, freezers, slushy mix, ok slushy is moderately interesting and yum, I digress, we opened a box and inside were 2 boxes, of stuff, for us, yay, a surprise present.



We can't wait to open them, so thank you both :o)

And here they are under our little tree, bought before we realised you can get real trees here, but not till about 2 weeks before Christmas, which was too late for us.
Feel free to pretend you can't see the pile of paper and wood next to the burner, it is gone now. I could pretend I intend on taking more pics to replace this one with but the chances are slim, to none :o)



Are we getting into the spirit yet?

The children were decorating the tree, lots of I remember this and I made this going on, when they got to the ordinary decorations they got bored and stopped. I haven't the time or inclination so it may stay like this till we get invaded on Christmas Eve, we'll see.

What fun would there be in waiting until 2 weeks before Christmas to actually get your tree up!

lol. I'm sorry but I'm sniggering away here 'cause I thought my lack of enthusiasim was bad but I do believe you top me! Never mind I'm sure you enjoy the actual day just as much as I do. Hope the presents are as exciting as they look.

Elena, I know, we haven't done a proper blog since 28th November, so I thought I should post a little so our readers don't get bored :o)
The gossip is all in the diary, never fear ;o)
Open pressies before the big day? are you kidding? the Grinch would have a field day.
They are from someone special in England :o)
Vic, I was spitting mad, dodgy fake tree is simply not on now the children are old enough to leave well alone! tsk
Ganeida, you snigger away :o) whatever keeps the punters happy as they say somewhere or other, I expect :o)
I am not chirpy when poorly, do people say poorly out here, I said it to someone the other day and they didn't have a clue, I had to explain it meant ill..... language barrier y'see

Poorly? Poorly? Oh, I don't think I'd use that. Malingerers, hypocondriacs & other decrepit sorts.;P Sorry if you're still not well though. I *am* only teasing.
