The last week has been hectic with a mid-week trip to BrisVegas for work and dh's birthday Thursday. This led into a mildy crazy weekend with work Christmas Party and The Whitlams at the Opera House Friday followed by Spinning Class Saturdaband the Morris and Sons Chrismas Celebration that was High Tea (with Bubbles) at the Harrogate Tea Rooms
Dh's birthday was a quiet affair with a small gift unwrapping during the day and the two of us at home that night (mainly as I had picked up a dreaded lurgy on my flying trip to Brisbane). He has been enjoying the Charley Boorman book I gave him and is yet to start the Eoin Colfer penned sequel to the Hitchhiker's series. He also gets to enjoy the new series of 30 Rock and Wii Cricket (which will tide him over between tests and one-dayers over the summer)
Friday night found me dashing out of works' christmas party hosted on the beautiful Sydney Harbour to the Opera House to see The Whitlams play all of Eternal Nightcap with the SSO (as the first half of the concert) followed by a range of other songs in the second half. The show was wonderful with highlights being Peter Skulthorpe's arrangement of "Out The Back" (that sounded like being in the ocean) and one of my favourites "Life's A Beach". I also can't miss saying that Tim Hall's songs off the Eternal night cap album were performed well (but not as well as he did them).
Saturday saw the last of my learn to Spin classes but we have overcome that by arranging a once a month catch up to keep the momentum. I will really miss the experience but perhaps not the early Saturday morning's.
Saturday afternoon was concluded with a High Tea with Bubbles at the Harrogate Tea Rooms as a Christmas Shindig for the Thursday night knitting troupe with a couple of blow-ins.
I was enjoying myself way too much to take lots of photos (one of a hnadful above).
We had arranged a kris kringle and I managed to make a few knitted baubles (Covering existing ones) some more below. That were used as make-shift earings. Colourful, easy to make and really adorable.

The baubles/earrings were great fun. How clever you are both to devise and make them, and to do so in such a busy week.
