As we paid for our lunch yesterday, the waitress asked us where we were off to today. Probably a standard question, given that we were at a cafe in Springfield, a town whose only claim to fame (other than the giant pink doughnut) is that it’s on the way to a lot of places. But…
I don’t do physical Christmas cards, so please accept this as a virtual Christmas card to all my Dear Diary, Bookcrossing, and Livejournal friends. Hope you all have a great Christmas (or whatever you choose to celebrate tomorrow), and a fabulous New Year. And another sort of Christmas tree: I wandered over to Jellie Park…

We were going a bit further afield than usual this time, though, because lytteltonwitch had managed to “Grab a Seat” some cheap tickets to Auckland. So on Thursday night after grabbing a quick dinner of fish and…
Off to Auckland tomorrow night, so I’ve been busy packing tonight. Yeah, maybe I should throw in a few clothes as well… 🙂 And another progress report on the embroidery: No more progress reports for a while, probably. I won’t have time to do any stitching tonight, and I’ll be away for the next few…
