So good wasn't it?

I may have been convinced to try karaoke tonight. May have confirmed my knowledge that my enthusiasm for singing is not entirely matched by my talent. Heaps fun though. So good to have stupid fun with friends and family. Laughed so much I nearly threw up.

Glad I stayed at the pub then! Cheers

Cool. Am at the pub with fam but will check in

The fact that Ararat, Stawell and Hamilton were all on watch and act today really hit home the size of the fire front ..

This may not have been the night to jump on board....

As long as we beat Sydney tonight I will take it as a good sign

Hahahaha

After all the Christmas food and wine I need many lifts but I will stick to cricket for now

Thanks!

So I think the time has come to get into BBL. I have adopted the Melbourne stars because... Melbourne, stars, and green. And they are playing right this minute.

BBL fans am I going to regret this adoption? A cricket team is not just for Christmas, I know...

So good.

My mum loved Christmas. And any celebration really. Half my tea towels and things are old Christmas themed ones from the surplus she would buy. And every year EVERYONE got a present - kids, grandkids, in laws. We were not rich and I dunno how she did it but she did. I'm talking a big extended family here. And when we were little we had presents on Christmas Eve (after mass 😇) and a big party. Then she would back it up with lunch for everyone Christmas day.

That all changed a bit when she got old and sick and we could share the load, but the presents continued. When she got too old to shop she would research and buy things online through the year.

She died a few years ago now in November and there were so many pre-bought presents ready in the cupboard that we were able to package them all up and give everyone something from mum/grandma that year as a surprise.

So if you are sad or your family was crap, this is your permission to go buy (or cook or do) yourself something nice, from my mum. She would love it. ♥️✨
