Ok, Ok its been a while. Have been madly organising THE WEDDING! Also now have a sincere appreciation of exactly how much work goes into one. Slightly more than co-ordinating a school concert...OMG that reminds me...ITS CONCERT YEAR TOO. Arrrgghhhh!
Christmas was, 'eventful.' We decided that we would get a real Christmas tree...pine smell in the house and all that. Took the Ute out and found 2 girls that were selling them on the side of the road from a shipping container. We lobbed out of the car and they asked us what size we wanted. To which Ash replies. "A BIG ONE" So, stowed the monster tree in the back and went home. (Feeling a little like Chevy Chase in National Lampoons Christmas) At home, we opened the back of the Ute and a wasp flew out. Hmm...ok...its summer...wasps make sense...don't they? Didn't think any more of it as we dragged the tree into the living room. Ash busied himself putting the tree on a base and it was then we heard the hum. Yep. MILLIONS OF WASPS WERE IN THE TREE. Clever people would drag the tree out of the house and fumigate it. What Ash and Sheri would do is spray the tree liberally with insect killer and then vacuum them up. (After chaisng Princess away, as she wanted to play with the dying wasps.) Finally, tree was wasp free and decorated with blue and silver decorations...perfect! Will add some pictures when I transfer them off my laptop.
