Scampiferous

OK, today we get serious about Christmas (how good’s that, eh?). It’s a bit grey and drizzly – perfect for a day of shopping. Seems most of Batemans Bay feels the same way. After a fruitless search for a live tree, we settled on a little bargain from the $2 shop and planted in a bucket of river sand. The girls decorated it beautifully, but Tashi spent most of the time (and the rest of the afternoon) learning to play didgeridoo on a roll of wrapping paper.

I went for a stroll and spied a beautiful boat sitting quietly in the river – there are lots of boats of all shapes and sizes around here, but this one particularly caught my eye. I hope her owners take her out during the week – I think she’d look a treat with all her laundry out.

Another lovely sunset tonight.
