Wednesday!

So that means it's Woo Hoot time...


* Having caring and kind colleagues and parents at work. They all told me I sounded terrible and so I'm back at home and aren't going to work till next Monday. (oh yeah, Mrs Frizz, I have tried kicking it...hitting it...punching it...but it won't get up and leave, (insert swear word here LOL!!)thing!


*My order from SE arrived. Meg sent it last week, but it was missing in action for a while before it got sad and went back to her place. She told it to toughen up and it arrived at my house this morning, along with my prize for last weeks Friday night challenge.


*To sketchbook, and in particular a lady called Katrina (crigs) because now I know how to access my beloved dotto refils...mmm so happy now!


Now I was scrolling through my photos and found this one. I live in a little seaside town (that's rapidly growing I might add) and at Christmas the volunteer firemen jump on the engine wearing the appropriate costumes and drive round the streets with the siren going throwing out lollies to all the kids (big and small) and of course picking up the odd can of beer from us locals on occassion. I think it's cool that this still happens, and don't think it will happen for much longer. If nothing else we are getting to big to warrant a volunteer brigade and it will need to become professional (and I for one will miss the siren going off in the middle of the night). So does this still happen where you live? Is there something special that your community does to celebrate Christmas?

Look, we don't even have footpaths...and no underground power...

Awww, I hope you get better real soon. Good on you for taking time off until Monday. Sometimes I think that is the only way to really knock these bugs on the head.

Stay warm. :)

PS. LOL, a Drizabone for a dog, too cute. He's not a Sthnn dog is he?

Now that time off should give you time to really get rid of it. So rest up and take it easy.

I remember the Salvation Army band on the back of the truck going round the streets at Xmas but haven't seen them for a few years. Love the local carol in the parks too as its too hard to try to get into town for the big one on Xmas Eve.

I'm glad they sent you home again - you need to rest more! I hope a couple more days in bed will help knock it on the head.

awww Trace I hope you feel better soon, not much fun while staying at home until Monday might be hard hopefully this will knock the busg on the head. Sigh, none of that small community thing going on in our neck of the woods, it makes me realise how PC we have become.

Awwww, you must be really sick! Make sure you rest while you're at home. Scrapbooking is ok, cooking, cleaning, painting and leaf raking are not!
