I'm a sucker for cute things.

I saw these cute purses for sale on Banggood and couldn't make up my mind which to get, so I got all four. Olivia snaffled the big smiley as soon as she saw them, so she must be more decisive than me.
 

More dressing up.

Olivia has put our house in a very seasonal mood now.

Post Xmas I think I'll inspect these stars, they appear to lack colour that they may have had before.

Honesty in labeling.

Olivia was thinking about grabbing some fish sauce whilst we were in the Asian shop in Townsville but I was wary of this one, maybe that extra "s" is a typo.

Hopscotch.

I saw this wonderful hopscotch setup near one of the very rare public lavatories in Townsville when we were there last week, I thought it was a terrific idea, then after a bit of thought realised that I would be out of puff after one round, aging has its drawbacks.

It has lights too.

Night brings a different look to the tree on our landing.

Decorations are sprouting.

Tinsel and baubles are thriving is our house currently and all I've had to do is just sit back and watch.

A tree for the front porch.
I'm sure more will come.

Broken before its time.

My razor broke whilst shaving this morning, bugger, I've never had that happen before.
I wasn't going to retire it until xmas but since it's been a bit painful for a few weeks now I suppose it's been a blessing in disguise, but now I'll have to stretch the new one out an extra three weeks to keep things in order.
