oh little lights

The lights on my little tree, 150/365

My eyes are currently telling me it is time to go to bed, the cake in the oven though is telling me something else. According to the recipe it still has about 10 mins to go, knowing my oven that could be anywhere between another 10 to 50 mins. I can smell the ginger wafting through the house and oh it smells good. This afternoon I also made my first batch of peanut brittle – should have doubled the recipe but other than that fairly good.

I came across a link to this dress on some blog the other day. Is it not just one of the most gorgeous dresses you have seen? I would love to wear this to a party and the ballet and dinner and the shops etc etc.

I love the look (and the taste) of pomegranates.

I had the day off today so I was able to attend (great) Aunty Lil’s funeral. As it always is with such things it was nice to see family that I hadn’t seen in a while but it always is nicer to catch up in more pleasant environments. Grandad is now the only one of his siblings left. He turns 90 in Jan.

Finders Keepers

Today I went to the Finders Keepers market and I must say I didn’t like it anywhere near as much as I enjoyed the BrisStyle markets a few months ago. The only thing I got was the necklace pictured below, a gorgeous piece by Kim Wallace

home….

Well Toto, we ain’t in Bali any more….

Sam and I on Kuta Beach

We had a really fast flight home – only about 5hrs compared to the 6.5 odd hrs on the way there. Still got home to my parents round midnight. It was still too early to crash so we watched the Glee dvd we had picked up, had Vegemite toast then it was time to crash. Sunday morning we went to Sizzlers for real aussie buffet breakfast, then it was time to drop Sam off at the airport and head home to unpack, wash, sleep etc before heading back to work yesterday…..

I wouldn’t mind been back there …. I miss my mango juices…
