Christmas!
Dec. 11th, 2009 12:08 amI feel I have achieved things today. I managed to get most of my Christmas present shopping for my family finished (I still need to go to Mitre 10 and get vouchers for my sister and her husband). Both of my siblings and their partners have requested cash or vouchers this year, and while I'm less keen on giving vouchers, I have a general policy of trying to give people what they've asked for...
However, it's always nice to have something to open and play with one the day, so I thought kids' books! Everyone likes kids' books! They're so much fun! So, after I found my sister a pair of earrings I got Biggles and the Black Mask for my brother, a small Where's Wally? book for my brother-in-law, and Young Macdonald Had A Farm for my sister-in-law.
I'm really pleased with the last one. It's a 2009 New Zealand children's book and Young Macdonald has a tractor, a digger, a grader, a few other things, a pole driver... It's adorable. Also, she's moving to Syndey next year to be with my brother (who went over earlier due to study). And she teaches primary school.
I wish I could find some southern hemisphere Christmas icons. I know, this one isn't summer, but at least there isn't any snow in the icon. And it's Snoopy. Many of them have snow or Santa (in his heatstroke inducing red suit), or snowflakes or some other winter scene. Christmas is summer.
Saw the physio again today. This should be the last lot of strapping. It's supposed to be on for another week and then I'm done. I can go back to playing frisbee then, too. I'm allowed to wear high heels again! I've been wearing the same pair of flats for work since early November! Heels!
