Christmas spirit...where art though...?



I'm trying my best to feel Christmassy - the weather isn't helping right now.  Windy, cool, overcast days don't add up to the Festive Season for me. I'm a little worried Christmas will come and go without any real feeling to it - that would be a shame for Piet.

Last night we put tinsel in his room and tried to get the Christmas tree up (work in progress). My iTunes Christmas music library only has Rod Stewart singin' Chrissy tunes, so I clicked the Play button - it didn't work, T turned on the cricket and poor Rod (and attempted Christmas atmosphere) was drowned out. Note to self: must keep trying to feel the Christmas spirit.


Little P spots his Dad walking down the hill....
Yesterday, to fill in another gloomy day, little P & I headed to Deakin University for a Student Admin errand, where I saved myself $4,000 (in reality I put it off for another date) and to feed the ducks. Lucky for us this is where T works so we three had a weekday lunch together (of gold, frankincense and myrrh, just jokes :-) ).  Piet ate the bread meant for the ducks but I salvaged a few pieces and watched our feathered friends fight over it.

Struggling to get my essay done and was awake for two hours during the night worrying about not having enough time to study - which defeats the purpose, really.  If I'd stopped worrying so I could sleep then I may have been able to wake up two hours earlier this morning to write....

Another gloomy day, T has gone sailing and think I'll take Piet to the plant nursery. This morning I caught Piet eating Dizzy's dog biscuits so he's had his excitement for the day!
