Something Christmassy that’s Never Been Seen Here Before!

By On December 24, 2011 · 1 Comment · In blogosphere, christmas

Wishing all my lovely readers and commenters a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous and awesome 2012.

And in something that you have never seen here before…

Picture 001 (2)

YES! That is Boo, and that close to Santa… even so close that she is on his knee!

I fell off my perch with surprise when she presented me with this photo after spending a few hours with Grandma and her cousin, Bella on Thursday.

Ssshhh! I don’t think she brushed her hair that day!!!

My Santa phobic child has not been this close to Santa since she was 2 weeks old, which is just over over 6 years ago!

Merry Christmas – May Santa be kind to you and yours xoxox

 

A Christmas Miracle: An Update on my Friend

By On December 21, 2011 · 6 Comments · In precious moments

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about my girlfriend who got hit by a car cycling and suffered a broken spine, and was waiting to find out whether or not she would be left as a paraplegic.

Last night I received some awesome news.

The swelling around her spinal cord is subsiding, and she now is having muscle twitches in her legs and feet. After a long examination by the medical staff she was advised she would not be left a paraplegic.

She still cannot voluntarily move her legs or wriggle her toes, but the good news is that she will be up on her feet again within the next few months, if not weeks. The extent of exactly how much mobility and function will return is still unknown.

She’s fit and healthy. She’s the Queen of Exercise. She’s excited that the real physio can begin now. I have no doubt that she’ll put in more than the work required and be running again in no time.

 

Space Invaders and Discourteous Carollers

By On December 19, 2011 · 2 Comments · In christmas, mutterings, whine

Boo and I attended Carols by Candlelight in the city last night. Yes, the Carols we attempted to go to last week!

Carols by CandlelightWe got great FREE street parking because everyone else was too busy waiting to turn into the paid parking lot they paid no attention to that one lonely spot left on the street Smile Then we headed into the Supreme Court Gardens, and parked our picnic were we could view the stage and the big screen ready for the pre-entertainment, and without encroaching on anyone else’s personal space!

I was so peeved by the people that then rocked up just before or when the carols started and tried to squeeze their families of 6 or more into a space that might accommodate one person sitting comfortably! They just kept coming and forcing themselves in…

If you’re not there to get a decent position be courteous and find a spot where you, your children and the grandparents will be comfortable and you’re not making other people uncomfortable and grumpy!

Too right! I was suffering PMT, they’re lucky I didn’t start a riot.

I must mention here, no families of 6 or more encroached on my space. However, a family of 2 (father and son – had to be a male) encroached on my space.

No, I am not happy for you and your toddler to squeeze yourself into that spot and sit on the corner of my picnic rug. You are within 10cm of my being, and even when I’m not irritable with PMT, and even if I knew you, you are invading too far into my personal comfort zone…

Not only did the space invader invade my space, he sang loudly and BADLY and passed foul smelling wind throughout the evening!!!
