greetings from the south coast

Moo this is especially for you from mum and me...
Kev bought Tom a myers gift voucher. Tom said he will buy cuff links.
Mums bought for you, some beautiful treasures yet to be revealed...
Jack bought for Annie...or is still buying
Fran bought for Clare, not opened yet
Marty bought for Fran some amazing screen printed fabric by an indigenous artist and coluring book to give her inspiration for her own fabric designs.
Claire bought for me. Beautiful deep sounding chimes that I have hung on the deck.
I bought for Connor. I bought him a toiletry bag made from recycled tires from Salamanca markets when Annie and I were there, as well as a subscription to Empire magazine for 12 months, which is a movie magazine, and a star wars tshirt from hasis cupboard that he had never worn because it was too small for him.
Hasi bought for Liam-another star wars tshirt, some weird yoda light and some "responsible size" tequilas x 2 and some beer. Once he started he couldn't stop, this is his usual way of shopping. Doesn't get to a shop for 6 months at a time, then goes crazy!
Annie made a hamper full of treats for dad, including chutney, fruit cake, something like rocky road, short bread, brandied apricots and much more.
Claire and Hasi are still waiting for theirs from you and Jules. If you want me to get them something here, let me know.
Tom bought for Jules.. we don't know what, but you do.
Liam bought for Lucy, but not delivered yet.
Connor bought for mum, Kentucky bourbon
Lucy bought for Jack...hasn't been delivered yet
Clare bought for Marty a R2D2 teapot, which we christianed in Canberra, pours very nicely.

so that's what we know.
Mum dad and Marty came down to our place last night which was fantastic. had dinner together on the deck.
Trying to convince Marty to move closer.. not having much luck, thinks he wants to check out far north queensland next!!
Of course it poured raining a nd only got to a max of about 20 degrees for the whole time he was here, so that didn't help much.
Annie heading over for the festival next weekend, and shes happy to be getting the front room, instead of having to sleep outside the bathroom.
I spent today in newtown, wanting to buy some new clothes. Went to all my favourite shops plus about half a dozen op shops including Rockdale and mortdale, and didn't get a thing. Its Salamanca markets for me for my shopping in future. fancy a weekend there, when you visit??
Fran should be checking it out tomorrow so look forward to hear what she thinks about it.

Well that's it for now, should think about checking out the train timetable for my journey home.
Happy new year and love to you and Jules
Mum and Me.
