That's where I'm going to be posting regularly from now on. It's just so much easier to use! I might be back here from time to time but that's going to be my main posting place!

Two Treats!

Since I missed yesterday you're due two treats today for the advent calendar!

No.11
A link to the website the musical production of The Secret Garden which I went to see tonight. It was incredible!

No.12

Click. The fab M&S Christmas Ad. It makes me giggle!

Family

I *love* this picture from my Christmas at home last year. And tomorrow I'm going home for a Christmas weekend there. Before heading out to Oz next weekend for Christmas out there. So this picture is no.10 in the advent calender!

Miracle on 34th Street

Day no. 9! (it's getting so close to Christmas!) I love this film - full of Christmas magic!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Click here for day no.8's fabulous entry in the advent calender! It's a gorgeous blog, with lots of fabulous and quirky Christmas present ideas, that I discovered day as a result of another lovely blog. Enjoy!

No. 7

We all *LOVE* sprouts here in my uni family. How about you?

Advent Calander!

One of my friend's has been doing an online advent calender and I thought that was a fab idea! However I'm a little bit behind the times what with today being the 6th of December already (my how this year has flown!). So as a special treat there are going to be six things today! And I'll hopefully be able to keep it up until Christmas day (or at least until I go to Aus!)

No.1



No.2

No. 3

"But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days. Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of his brothers shall return to the people of Israel. And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth. And he shall be their peace."

Micah 5 v2-5

No. 4

A vintage fairy to top our tree!

No. 5

Parlour games. Perfect for Christmas!

No. 6

A perfectly lovely blog.

Check back for no. 7 tomorrow!

So good!

I love Jamie Cullum and I think you should probably be listening to him right now. He's awesome.

Also discovered a hilarious article whilst drinking a Cinnamon gingerbread latte in Gloria Jeans Coffees on Saturday.

Bubble and Squeak!

I was just about to make my tea (or dinner as southerners like to call it!) when my grandma rang. And when my Grandma rings a short conversation is under an hour! And as cutting up a swede or a turnip (i get them confused as up north we call them things the other way round!), I had to stop because they're pretty difficult to chop without trying to hold a phone under your chin, and I didn't fancy risking my fingers!

Anywho I'm off the phone now and my swede/turnip is boiling away. With it I'm going to make bubble and squeak which means to me mashed potato and mashed turnip/swede fried in butter. Then eaten with Daddy's sauce and bread and butter. Yum! Though i've disocvered that everyone as their very own version of bubble and squeak (though of course mine is best!)

It's been a while

I think I go through blogging phases. I update a lot and then nothing and then another burst. I have great respect for people who can blog continually! I don't have that much perseverance.

So here I am. I was going to blog more this uni year but then we had to wait 7 weeks for internet so I lost momentum and by that time I had lots of work to do so I didn't. But I'm here for now.

I've had a really good day. I've done a lot. And I'm greatly anticipating this week but I can't tell you why because it's a secret (shhhhh!)

Right I should probably head to bed. The plan is to get lots of uni work done tomorrow and so feel really good and less panicky about the amount of work I have (which is a lot!)
