Merry Boxing Day!
So Christmas day went well. Present distribution was done the night before, so first thing after breakfast (non-communal) for me was taking Pooka for a walk. As expected there weren’t many people out, but there were a few regulars, and we had a good play at the oval.
Then home for a mad frenzy of cleaning [...]

So the brother and I will be away from the 27th of December until the 6th of January. And I will be away later at Alice Springs. The parents will do more Pooka-care while people are away, however they both work and she might be bored/sad during the day. We’ve asked the son of one [...]
holding steady
Still no Christmas cards. Everything is going to plan. If any arrive tomorrow, that is definitely after the deadline.
Now I actually want to send a non-Christmas card to someone. So I have to wait a while so that they don’t think it’s a late Christmas card. Because it won’t be.

She demonstrated the headlock manoeuvure and it all worked fine while Pooka was on the table in the surgery and the vet [...]
but officer, all I’ve been drinking is water!
So tonight I was making rum balls using my grandmother’s recipe. My grandmother is getting on and probably won’t be making them this year. After tasting the mixture and doubling the rum content at my mother’s urging, I began the rolling process. After I had made 51 balls, I ran out of chocolate sprinkles. Luckily [...]
oh I forgot
Did I mention that I passed all the second year exams? Yeah… well I did.
I seem to have forgotten a lot of my spelling pet hates. So that will have to wait. I know what will top the list though!
