Date Night

I was Ali's "date" for a Queensland Writers Centre event last Thursday.  Christmas Trees fitted the theme.

Christmas Beetles

On the ceiling, between SLQ and the bookshop, I saw these beetles in formation.  Only when I downloaded the pic, did I realise what formation they were in...cute!

CBD Christmas

In town, the Myer window has a story as usual.  I loved the fact that some sheep were wearing quilts!

Written as It's Said

And How Much For The Dress?

Aussie Christmas

A bit spindlier than the lush Douglas firs of colder climates, but it's the right spirit!

Tree of Life

I have passed this shop so many times and NEVER noticed the wood blocks embedded in the facade.  I probably never would never have either, except that others mentioned it.  An amazing array!

English

I was helping James by proofreading an assignment - I know this is the language I use every day, but what does it all mean?  I guess HE knows!

"The chirality of the generated circular polarisation is dependent on the input polarisation axis."

Paper Star

I enjoyed this little project the other day!

Vintage Holden

I parked next to this the other day - love the licence plate, FJH!

Chrissi's Chrissie Pressie

My German penpal sent me a little parcel for Christmas.  She wrapped each item in lovely poinsettia paper.  There was lebkuchen

an Advent calendar card

 and wooden decorations - each one of the 6 is different.

This is what she told me about these items:
"The little stars were made in the ‘Erzgebirge’. That is a small mountain in the east of Germany which is well-known for producing traditional Christmas decorations. They produce lots of items made of wood, such as angels, German incense smokers or nativity figurines - all of first-class quality. The little Advent calendar shows a typical scene at a German Christmas market. There you can buy nice Christmas decorations, you can taste yummy lebkuchen and glogg and you can stroll around the market enjoying the illumination of the trees and the stalls."
