At University today I saw a young woman wearing the ultimate in sports gearing, carrying weights in her hands and power walking at a tremendously fast pace. Most impressive.

 I also saw another young woman wearing the shortest skirt and the HIGHEST heels I have seen in a very long time.

 Stiletto woman came from behind, passed and outpaced Power Walker. 

[and the poster has nothing to do with anything, I just thought it would at least give Snowy and GOF a thrill]

flex Friday and catching up with friends

Having a flex Friday. Mr FD rolled out of bed this morning and said that he wished we could have a couple of weeks at home to do some chores. I laughed - 8 weeks today, is not only Christmas Eve but also the day I become jobless. I may have many weeks at home!!!!!

Enjoying the one I have today anyway. I am just pre-heating the oven to bake my Christmas cake. I like to do it now so that I can "drip" feed it until Christmas - that means keeping it moist with more alcohol! My sister used to think that you could get drunk on fruit cake - well we might just achieve it this year! Most fruit cakes last a few days, often into the New Year. Not mine, it is mostly gone by Christmas night!!!! It is an evolving recipe!

the dried fruit mix has been soaking in alcohol for hours

and this photo is for GOF and Snowy -

yes, gentlemen, the cook's needs were taken care of as well!

Big weekend. Daughter 2 arrives back in Australia tomorrow. If you are at the Brisbane International Airport tomorrow around 10am you may witness some might fine Flamingo Dancing. In fact, you may witness an entire flock of Flamingo Dancers happy dancing.

Sunday we are finally going to meet our newest family member - our great niece No 3. We are taking afternoon tea with her as a matter of fact. It was fun buying baby presents again. I also bought something for her older siblings, brother No1 and Sister No 2.  I always give babies books. I believe it is important to read to babies from birth - they understand more than you think! I read to mine all the time, and talked to them constantly. I have also bought her a little cloth book that has colour on one side and on the reverse side the graphics are all black and white, because apparently babies see everything as black and white when they are first born. I also found the newest Paddington Bear story - tucked away for someone for Christmas. The children's section of the bookstore is nearly my favourite section - after the biography and history section!
