Rockin’ Into The Season

We’ve decided not to put the big Christmas tree up this year. Doesn’t seem much sense in unpacking boxes at the moment!
I’m still feeling a bit neutral about it all right now, but feel like I might regret not decorating in some way…I put some lights and other bits up today, although I forgot the batteries!

Gingerbread, reindeer, and a couple of gnomes.
The boxes make a handy background!

I also found a tiny tinsel Christmas tree at the charity shop today. It even came with teensy teddy ornaments 🙂

I might start playing some of my Christmas CDs soon.
I haven’t got the CD this came from, and I initially didn’t think I would like it anyway, but I had a listen. I think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever heard 😆

There’s something about Jimmy Barnes yelling at me to have some pumpkin pie that cheers me right up!

Or maybe you’re feeling a bit down and you’d rather something about what Christmas really means…

Orchids – Or Lavender?

Possibly linens?
We’ve been married 28 years today. I thought I’d look up the traditional gift…the 28th year doesn’t really feature in most lists. The ones I did find were the above options (lavender is the “colour” for this anniversary, apparently). Otherwise, we’re somewhere between silver and pearl 🙂

Anniversary selfie! I haven’t edited this at all (apart from a bit of cropping). Something about the lighting in the cafe makes it seem like we both have make-up on…or at least that we’re a lot younger than we are 😀

We went off for a coffee and cake (or chocolate slice…) together, then celebrated further with a lovely steak dinner. Spent a large part of the evening sharing YouTube clips of songs and bands/singers we’ve each been enjoying lately. It’s been very busy in various ways, with not a lot of time to sit together and talk. We enjoyed taking the time to talk, and also snuggle on the couch, listening to good songs. Here’s one that seemed appropriate for today!

What an amazing range of Australian artists there are to choose from!

For a couple of years now I’ve been able to say that I’ve been married longer than not married…
Now we can start working on the next 28 years.
