Four Weeks To Christmas - Scary!

Hi Guys and Gals,

Yes, I know don't remind you how close Christmas is but - Christmas is close!

This year we decided to buy a combined Christmas present. So yesterday Santa came early - we bought a WII console with WII Fit Plus and WII Sports. The main reason we bought it was because it was on special - (we try never to buy anything retail).

Now, we can get fit and healthy as we grow older. First, we have to learn how to use it...

I also got another present yesterday, that I picked up at the post office, below is my new owl bracelet. I've developed an almost fetish for owl, butterfly and dragonfly jewellery.

Yesterday, which was Saturday, the weather up here was a perfect Spring day, clear skies, cool breeze and warm sunshine - perfect! So, what we're we doing on such a beautiful day? Taking a load of rubbish to the "waste management centre" (formerly the rubbish tip), at Katoomba - and believe me it lives up to its name. No longer do you drive over a lumpy dirt road, breathing in foul air and then throwing all your rubbish onto a big heap of other rubbish.

Now, you drive on a marked bitumen road that leads to a covered carpark like structure where a guy asks you what kind of rubbish you have onboard and then directs you to a particular bay, where you back you vehicle into and then he comes and helps you to take the stuff out of your vehicle and dumps it into specially designated huge waste bins, for steel, paper, wood, plastic and mixed rubbish.

I thought it was great because I didn't have to get out and help!

After we did our grocery shopping at Katoomba, we took the scenic route home via the Three Sisters and Leura....

The roadworks at the back of our place on the Great Western Highway are starting to take some shape now but there's another year of work ahead before completion.

Well gotta go and have my morning coffee with James and enjoy Sunday while the day is still gorgeous!

 

Happy Sunday,
