So that was Christmas and
what have you done
another year over, a new one just begun
and so that was Christmas
I hope you had fun
the near and the dear ones
the old and the young
a very Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year
let's hope it's a good one
without any fear
John Lennon
I was reminded of this song at Julia's blog
~ over here in my house ~
~ there are only crumbs left on the plate ~
~ the wine is gone ~
~ what fun - what food - what presents ~
~ that beautiful cake dome is one of them ~
~ nice huh? ~
~ lucky me huh? ~
~ it rained and rained ~
~ these two found shelter in the porch ~
~ we can't get to town ~
~ this little green chap is happy ~
~ and noisy ~
~ last evening we spotted a break in the clouds ~
~ so far today no rain.... but there is no sunshine either ~
~ all around us we hear of people being evacuated from their homes ~
~ others have spent their whole Christmas cleaning up .... and again... and then again ~
~ in the west they are having a heat wave and watching out for bushfires ~
~ friends in far places are snowbound ~
~ so I know we are very lucky really ~
~ I wonder if our luck will hold - maybe we will win the cricket? ~
~ Oh ~
~ Does anybody remember the travelling goats? ~
~ well, one arrived at my house ~
~ bearing gifts ~
~ I'll show you next time ~
~ keep safe where ever you are ~
~ keep happy ~
~ tommorrow the sun will rise again ~
(even if you can't see it)
Looks like you had a great time at Christmas - an almost empty wine bottle in evidence! Looks like you won't be getting to the sales anytime soon...and as for the cricket - I'll just be glad if the Aussie see out today!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful Christmas was had at your house. I hope you have lots of left overs seeing as you can't get to town.
ReplyDeletesure is a country of extremes.........
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful Christmas you all had. Stay safe, so sorry about the flooding!
ReplyDeleteWe had a lot of rain too... I wished it was snow.. but hey,... no one else would have!! I think the rain was annoying enough for people!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed the cooler weather down here though.. it looks like it is going to heat up for a while now just when the packers come...!!
Hope the waters recede soon... :)

That cake dome is gorgeous - mine would have to come with a cake, I'd never be able to make something nice enough to put in it! Your pic of the birds is just darling. Oh this wicked weather everywhere - too bad we can't share it, spread some rain where it's needed and cold weather where it's too hot....
ReplyDeleteI hope that water stays well away from your house. Love that cake dome, just stunning. Take care. x
ReplyDeleteI love that frog......The dome is neat too...Hope you have a wonderful day. Hugs, Kim
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas and I love the cake dome , gorgeous . The photos are so interesting and we have also had plenty of rain with flooding , most unusual for us this time of year but today it is snowing and blowing so a good day to stay inside and stitch. Love the sky photo couldn't help thinking it would make a great landscape quilt;-)

Fiona,
ReplyDeleteI love the table runner under the cake dome and wine bottle! A goat story I can not wait! I have Lizzie's here and I am working on it.

Hi Fiona,
ReplyDeleteSorry to see all the water you are experiencing. We have had hardly any down here but I have been keeping an eye on things as my girlfriend lives in Bracken Ridge. My computer says you are in Strathpine? They aren't always right :-)
Love your cake dome, very pretty and love your frog and birds too.
Hope your Christmas was fabulous.
