Don't you just hate it when you get all inspired and such about making new resolutions and then, kerplunk, the next day comes and just muddies all your inspiration juices and leaves footprints on your resolve?
Nah? Good think I am here then, so that I can reflect that experience without you having to search for such to occur.
I was going to do my whole reverse advent thing for you, and had the perfect scenario planned, as it had been decreed that I should be on the volunteer roster at my daughter's school for the markets this morning.
But - there is one problem with being "on the volunteer roster" and that is the actual market participation is zip, because I instead got to spend several hours with lovely people serving many other market attendees food and drinks, and completely failed to do the whole sashay through the markets and admire (and report) for people...
I did get tomatoes at $1 a kilo though - and Australian garlic for $1 a head*.
'Salina got an iPad **. Paris got some lollies ***. V and I cleaned the fridge and freezers. Not at all adventish. Necessary, but not festive.
Still - we now have an upright tree!!
* Please note - large rant regarding local garlic and imported garlic and the whole global conspiracy to the detriment of local industry was contemplated, instigated and expunged, because I don't do economic political rants without getting a little red in the face and exasperated in the mind.
** Part of her "inheritance" from the Croatian grandfather was land, and with the Croatian family micro-economy she got a small amount of cashola which I was advised she could "spend however she wanted". This is what she wanted.
*** At a jewellery stall lucky dip. Go figure. Cue tantrums - from V for that stroke of luck, from Paris because the pink star one didn't work out the way she planned.

I've got a bag of garlic that I bought in desperation one evening. I won't be using the rest of the garlic because it comes from China. I've tried growing my own but the dog keeps digging it up.
