Santa’s nearly here!
Only 8 more sleeps ’til the red fellow drives his reindeer across our roof and squeezes down the chimney. Princess Zoo insists on opening the pot belly door every day “just in case Santa comes early & he can’t get in!”
Most of the present getting and wrapping is done, there is a bunch of baking to do this week (mainly because what I had made has been consumed by the vorocious school holiday children).
The Zoo Keeper is again missing our wedding anniversary (8th this year) on account of being in another capital city (Sydney this year instead of Melbourne).
The children are turning feral 2 weeks into holidays and if I hear “can’t Santa just come tonight” one more time I’m going to scream.
Princess Zoo is now sporting a haircut 5 inches shorter on account of having a hairdressing experience with Emily (our 4 year old neighbour). Em is now sporting an earlobe short bob courtesy of the Princess’s attempts where at least Em only cut the back of the Princess’s!
Biggest news for the week is that I tried on my alltime favourite dress yesterday and whilst it is somewhat tighter than it used to be on a size 10 me, I can now actually do up the zip. Obiously all the hard work I’m doing at the gym is starting to pay off. Now to survive Christmas & Camping trip pissups!

The Zookeeper was in Sydney and he didn’t look me up? Tch! Tell him to drop me a line next time!
