busy times

Have just been reading Zann's blog. Great travel blog. Things are getting very hectic here in downtown Portland. I gatecrashed year 10/12 formal celebrations last night and annoyed all and sundry by taking pictures. Will upload some to facebook tomorrow. I was supposed to go to library Christmas tea at the Talisman tonight but sat on loungechair and fell sound asleep. Didn't wake up till Terry got home from work and wondered why I was still at home. Too late then. There is lots to do and I don't feel like doing any of it - feeling very Bah Humbug at the moment. I am waiting for the mood to strike. It's hard to feel Christmassy when the weather is grey. After 3 whole days of stinking heat and hot wind we are back to normal drabness. Only to be expected because it is the 50th celebrations for the Pool tomorrow.
