Christmas Eve

As I sit, going through some photos to upload and blog, the cats are killing a gecko in the lounge (I'm sorry- it gets beyond the point where I can intervene and try to rescue them) and the guy upstairs is in his U2-concert-for-one mode. (Stuck in the Joshua Tree era....not that that's a bad thing, it's just....boring)
Hard to believe that soon not a creature will stir and Father Christmas will wing his way across the Southern hemisphere, bells a jingling.
A few days ago I awoke from a hot and restless night to find the morning grey and misty and delightfully cool so I grabbed the camera and made a beeline for the beach hoping to catch some people enjoying the reprieve from the heat. And yes, believe it or not, there was a group of people in the water at 05:30 in the morning!  As it turned out, the mist was actually light rain and my gear started to get really wet so I didn't have the camera out for long but it was fun trying to capture the mood.

And, for those interested, some pics of The Couch. This piece of furniture has attitude. Perhaps (wishful thinking) even the cats will know that This Is A Thing Not To Be Messed With. Hah. Fat bloody chance!

It's comfy though,  has some good reading possies -plus I can take a kip on it. So I'm rather chuffed.

Merry Christmas everyone! May the day, and the year ahead, bring peace, love and all the things that make you happy.
