The plates are always there, the skulls only come out on special occasions.

I’ve only got as far as cleaning the French doors and putting up some star decals. I’ve been spending my time outside instead of doing Christmas decorations. But I did post my cards yesterday.

Thanks for reminding me, I forgot all about cards!
I’ll write in some today but will need to buy more tomorrow.

My Christmas lights are still up from last year, I didn’t take them down. Now all I need to do is change the flat batteries.

Just been taking snaps of Budgie’s display this year, a few houses up from me.
Not very well composed ‘cos I was a bit overwhelmed.

I suppose you need the right kind of drugs. Like sucrose perhaps..
I still haven’t done my decorations. I need to clean the window first. But as there will be a couple of hot days Sunday and Monday when I won’t be able to be outside in the garden, I’ll get onto it then. It will probably be the latest I’ve ever been.
The baby apple tree has some tinsel on it’s wire guard. But I put that up a couple of months ago to dissuade possums and ravens from picking off the leaves. The poor thing is only about 30cm high and last year got greatly etten. I would like it to survive as it’s a cutting from the super excellent cooking apple tree at Casterton.

It’s a shame it takes three full time jobs to buy a house to put the child in.

Got some of them in our bush. Mr buffy goes “weeding” with the chainsaw. Perhaps we should bring one home for a Christmas tree instead of just dropping them and leaving them to rot.

Multitudinous felicitations for buffy. I love the card.
Phew, got Xmas presents for rellies. I wanted to send copies of this book I like. Not a single bgookshop in the whole world seemed to stock it. OK, so I only tried ten bookshops including Amazon, Amazon.au, Abebooks, etc.
Then had a brainwave. Found it on ebay, 3 copies and bought the lot. Plus two other similar books to round out the presents for my closest rellies.
Best collection of vintage humour in existence. You name it, it’s got it. Sketches from Blackadder, Steptoe and son, Dad’s army, The Goons Napoleon’s piano, Monty Python’s dead parrot, Two Ronnies, etc. and cartoons Dilbert, Andy Capp, Steve Best and many other cartoonists. One liners from Steve Wright, Bob Hope, Robin Williams, etc. A song by Flanders and Swan. Poems. Essentially, if it’s funny, then it’s in the book.

Such purdie lights. 😁
I didn’t show a night vision of my window last night because there wasn’t enough lighting. I think I’ve fixed that. And made things a bit more lush. I’ll try for a photo tonight.
:)

Fine effort. Are those real presents or stage props?

Real ones.
OK, it’s not really dark enough yet, I’m still getting reflections. I’ll have another go another night. You will note that Dizzy Bear is holding a mask. Not the right sort of mask. But a mask.
Ah, better with the white screen behind them and less light in the sky.

It has; I think it was first used in about 2002; she ran a wildlife shelter until she went blind, so that particular display is sentimental.

you can see the ‘FOR SALE’ signs
on the lawns on either side of this clown
…as well as the house across the road from him… /-8<
The dog ate my Christmas.
I put this decoration atop two one metre high pencil pines at each side of the door. One of them has gone.

Myers online had some beautiful glass ornaments on sale. I was tempted. And then I remembered the pain.

The northern hemisphere kids probably wore shoes or proper slippers.
Here is our tree this year. Not much changes from year to year, including the “Annual LED Lights Row” between Mr Speedy and me. There are no other decorations in or around the house.
Actually, there is one small change this year, being that two additional, small, beautifully wrapped gifts have been added overnight by Little Speedy, labelled “Mum” and “Dad”, following a meet-up with his friends at the shops yesterday.

Even tough I have only one arm, I have still maintained my usual which is not to bother with changing anything for Christmas.

I only had the skulls with Santa caps, but I put them back in the cupboard after that Devonport tragedy.
