Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 228: Dulwich Hill

Out and about in Dulwich Hill shopping at IGA and grabbed vegies and then caught train to ... well honestly I can't remember but sure it was fun (am writing this a month after the fact)

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 121: BUSY DAY!

Walking in the morning with Waz ...

Then Helen sent me an example of Zara's fabulous colouring in which got them free tickets to see Muppets Most Wanted ...

Then Kerry sent the 10 days til Ooro-vision text!!!

Then I sent this tweet from train on the way home from work ...

Had some chocolate and wine with Aidan at the end of a very long day ...

And finally in early hours of the morning, when insomnia struck again, I had this very affirming conversation with Irma from Sweden via Twitter ... so worth it really if I could help her ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 349 - Christmas shopping marathon

Off to the City for a marathon of Christmas shopping!

Mostly #suchfun with pit stops for food and to rest our weary feet and the occasional great gift giving epiphany. Spirits mostly held up just fine but lordy were we tired by the end!

We both slept very well tonight.

A very late breakfast lunch at Luneburger in QVB

Oh lord these royal Wedgwood figurines look frightfully freaky (Victoria's Basement which was its usual crazy Christmas busy; efficient fast checkout though)

So pretty ... love QVB's Christmas decos ...

To Myer foodcourt for mid afternoon sustenance (plus some sushi)

Before doing some shopping in Myer ...

And finishing up in Kinokuniya where we got Ric and Carolyn's pressies, and JB Hi-Fi where I got something for Steve and he got something for Lucy ... hurrah!

Then home by train to chill before going to Marrickville Metro for groceries and presents for Steve's team (Lindor Balls from Kmart) ...

Steve leapt out of way at last minute making it look to guy going UP the escalator that I was snapping him (I really wasn't!)

Attacked by giant reindeers in Kmart

And giant Santas ...

Vogue that trolley baby!!

And again!

Then to dinner at Matee where the delightful, friendly owner gave two glasses each of a lovely light Cabernet Merlot. Such a lovely lady and wonderful end to a very busy day.

Here's the day in tweets ...

... and last but not least Michael in the pool with Bodhi and Jordan ... 

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 193 - Seagulls ahoy!

First saw the flock of seagulls resting on the water near Luna Park on train across Bridge but couldn't get camera out in time.

So tried this once at work.

A little far away even with zoom but you can just see them.

JUST ... LOL
