A month to the day and the possum jumper is finished! It looks great (if I may say so myself) and the stars even look like stars! I think it’s going to be too big for Ava but that’s the great thing with kids, she’ll grow into it. It certainly feels thick and warm so I hope she gets some wear out of it this winter.

And the camera was fixed just in time for this photo – and I didn’t have to pay anything for it except the freight. Nice to know that warrantees and fine print sometimes *do* go the way of the consumer. Am very impressed to get the 5 year old camera fixed for free!

Just about every Sunday afternoon we go to a movie. Today it was Boat That Rocked. It’s been on a while here but we kept finding other things to see instead of it. However when we looked at the list of movies today it was down to the only one we hadn’t seen, other than ones we’re definitely not seeing (like the Iron Maiden one). It was great! Funny in that dry way that the English do so well. Bill Nighy is a laugh and Philip Seymour Hoffman did a great smoking drinking 60’s rocker DJ … always thought he was English but he’s American! Great friendships as well. Makes me think I need more friends and makes me miss my very close friends – you know who you are – why do you have to live somewhere else. Sniff.
