Whew warm one today. The sprinkler is working well from the new pipes; it gets a nice little wiggle up when it starts. We're still getting use to having a septic system; there's only certain products you can use. It does make you aware of what's actually going into our water systems though and that's a good thing.
Bonnie desperately needed a bath so was bathed outside in the wheelbarrow this morning as we just weren't sure if her shampoos were septic friendly.
A little embarrassed initially, but I think overall she handled being exposed to the world quite well. Such decorum. As you can see she's looking quite cheerful and relaxed! :)
A busy day planned tomorrow. A trip to the shopping centre for Christmas present shopping. I want to be there on opening and leave at lunch-time! I'm extremely focused when I shop; mainly because I dislike it so much. :) The tree is now, though still in the box, sitting in the lounge room. The numerous boxes of decorations, wrapping paper and center-pieces are waiting to be opened and the satisfying job of "choosing" begins. I am unashamedly crazy about Christmas! Working out the menu, the colour theme. Each year I do a different center-piece for the table. This year I've decided to put those mini tassels around the serviettes. If I have time I'll make them, the lovely French style ones with little beads etc; its the sort of thing you can do at night when the day is over. I'm not that keen on bling, though Christmas time is a time when a little bling can be acceptable I guess; tinsel being what it is.
Will be making some presents again this year, food ones only. I don't have the time or energy (or expertise for that matter) to make craft things but more power to those who do. I love to get home-made stuff; be it food or anything really. I love the spicy maple pecans I make and I have to be very stern with myself so I don't scoff them all when I'm making them for friends. I think I'll make them in bulk this year. :)
