nishatalithaSometimes, when we remember, we watch Choose 40 on C4. Tonight's show was the Worse Music Videos ever. I have to admit, I'm rather fond of some of the videos and like quite a few of the songs that we saw. Not that we watched all of them, of course. I can understand why Come on, Eileen was in it. I can understand why Total Ecilpse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler was on it. I'm just totally bemused by that last video. What's up with the alien schoolboy lover with the glowing eyes and the angel wings?
After church today, C and I went to the Thorndon Fair and had a thorough wander. They were packing up by the time we left. But we bought things! C got some presents and a pretty bracelet. I got part of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maudlinrose's Christmas present, a patty cake tin (50c!), and an incomplete dinner set. The cups were out in a box marked under $2 each and I thought they were pretty, so asked if they had saucers. The lady said that not only did she have saucers, but she also had three dinner plates, four lunch plates as well, and would I like them all for $10.00? I certainly would and did and am quite pleased with the purchase. It was heavy to carry around though!
We have a real live (dying) Christmas tree up in the lounge now! C and her mother got one for us when they were out yesterday, and we've put lights and tinsel and gold balls and glitter coloured balls and various other decorations (including my favourite ball of fluff with gold thread inside a gold spiral) and it looks very shiny and pretty and smells really good. I'm very pleased; it was one of the things that say Christmas to me.
We are working on clearing the gorse away. All the gorse that was sorted (apart from the stuff which still needs the axe) is now under the house in the correct firewood pile. The stuff that was sorted and discarded is mostly in a canvas container we purchased for it. The unsorted pile now needs to decrease, which will only happen with our hard labour.
I managed to avoid getting sunburned this weekend, or at least, not much. I am very pleased about this. Now, if only I can manage to keep it up for the summer - assuming we have a summer. I should not be taking my flannel sheets off my bed in December!
Must find a Bonnie Tyler cd to stick on my computer, preferably with that song on it.
