As I have made quite a few of these notebook covers, it was a quick easy session to make a couple more.
I also made some crocheted tea towel tops including some Christmas ones whilst we sat in the lounge chairs watching the cricket on TV last week.
Our planned trip north for the Christmas break to see family ended up with us not being able to make up our minds as whether we bring the caravan with us or not - Cyclone Owen, decided to play around in Nth Queensland and across the Gulf of Carpentaria. He didn't do much damage as it crossed the coast in remote areas of Cape York Peninsula, however the rain that he dumped was something else and was heading down the coast.
We were due to leave last Tuesday afternoon for a 3 1/2 day trip with the van, but decided Tuesday evening to change tack and leave the van at home due to the amount of rain forecast and possible flooding/road cuts. Instead we left on Wednesday morning for a 3 day trip north staying in motels on our way north. We saw where quite a bit of rain had fallen, but only got minimal rain ourselves. Around Mt Larcom, north of Rockhampton we also saw where massive bushfires that had raged just 10 days ago.
Safely arrived at our daughter & son in law's place south of Townsville on Friday afternoon, only to have the next door neighbour mow his yard with a ride-on and - accidently - throw up a stone and shatter the driver's door window of our car. Rang a windscreen place this morning (Christmas Eve) and bless their socks, they had one in stock and were able to fit it today!! Well done Clint and crew of Instant Windscreens and Tinting in Townsville.
For now though, it appears to be 'happy hour' so I shall sign off ......
On behalf of Pete and myself, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and productive New Year.
June & Pete
