Cleaned house, whipper snippered, weeded and trimmed, mowed, cleaned bird aviary, feed birds. Glad that's done. ;D
Tomorrow we have a party to go to then Christmas light looking. Monday I'm cooking all day. Then the big man in Red arrives ;D

I went for a 20km run this morning around the bridges in Perth. I wore my Santa hat and got many Merry Christmas greetings and smiles.  ;D  I passed a peleton of cycling Santas.  :D DW, DD and I are now doing some Christmas baking and I am putting up some party lights on DD's back patio.

Dede you are a wonder woman with the jobs you do around the house, particularly at this time of the year when there are so many other jobs needing to be done. 

I can imagine how you bought a smile to people's faced DD, everyone likes the jolly old fellow and even just a hat evokes such a response.

I managed to get to the shops for last minute items, made up a fruit basket and took it back to Mum as I don't have room in my fridge.  I've made the bread and bread sticks before it got too hot here and about to make a dip and set the table for tomorrow's lunch.

Been at the office this morning - the whole family went down and I did paperwork while DH cleaned out the storeroom and the kids just floated around between the two of us. 
Then home for lunch, bit of weeding, lawn mowing. 
Now DH has taken the kids back to the office to put all his gear back in the store room, and I've been baking and cleaning.  Very domesticated.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Got a call this morning from nana saying that grandpa is back in hospital. Not sure now whether he will make it down for Christmas :(
We went to Woolworths mid-morning and battled thorough the aisles. It was an utter madhouse :(
We picked up everything on our list and decided that if we had forgotten anything we would make do with what we have!! We have plenty of food so its not like anyone will starve. We might only be feeding 6 instead of 8 anyway :-\

You have all been so busy.

DH and I battled the crowds at the Farmers Markets.
Then went to Charlestown to do last minute Christmas shopping and groceries. I love last minute impulse buys.

Amy hope your grandad is better soon, I have been cooking all day, in between visitors and phone calls.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!
