boxing day

And we were allowed to sleep in until after 7am! Lovely.

Thanks to Claire/Steve, Nicky/Chris for supper.

Merry Xmas

A&C were generous - 6am.

crappy xp

Argghh! The pc is stuffed (full) with a really nasty virus - win32:vitro. Which merryily alters lots of files at random so that a) windows never works the same and b) it is nearly impossible to remove it.

So have finally bitten the bullet and done a clean install on another partition - but now the USB WIFI dongle refuses to install.

Oh I hate computers!

Borgnis Street lights, Davidson

View Larger Map

Well, it was wiggles this morning - I think Callum really enjoyed - not sure about Amelia though.

Wasn't impressed with the access to the car park at Acer Arena though - signage was pretty poor - lots of people over taking then pulling (pushing?) in at the last minute.

This even was a drive out to the Borgnis Street Christmas lights, in Davidson. A street that knows no shame :-)

Actually the lights were quite impressive. But feel sorry for the residents who don't want to get involved, but don't really have a choice....

wiggles!

Just over 2 hours to go - WIGGLE TIME

Pics of the Cake

the after party, party

Well that seemed to go quite well - the cake was finished before people got here (pics after the break), and there were very few tears. Everyone got their face painted, and found a goodie bag on the treasure hunt.

But two tired kids now, so into the pool for a little cool off instead of the Ku-ring-ai Christmas Carols at Bi-centenial Park - kids would be monsters by the time it finished...

Count down to the birthday party

Wednesday, and only 3 more sleeps till Amelia's 5th Bithday Party. It will be a princess and princes theme - with lots of frogs to kiss, and Louise will be making (although it is far past the point where it would have been cheaper to buy it ready made) a fairy castle Birthday Cake - hope Amelia appreciates the effort!

There will approx 10 girls, 2 boys, 1 brother (Callum), and two frazzled parents, running around the garden on Saturday afternoon, many having had their faces painted as they choose...

It's december - and summer

Horray - Christmas is just around the corner, along with massive queues in the shopping mall car parks, with irate people trying to find the last 3 spaces in a 1500 space car park, the aircon in the car runing overtime trying to keep the inside of the car cool....
