The Christmas break seems so long ago now! It was great to have a few weeks off :) even better to be able to read novels, not think about work and genuinely relax!
I had a fabulous birthday :) I got a thermos, a frangipani tree (plumeria rubra), some Terry Pratchett books, some craft cardboard, tickets to Dreamworld (woohoo! I can't wait!) and some more red kitchen accessories (oh, plus the summerfieldayze ticket from my dad).
My boss bought me some chocolates and we had a lovely morning tea! I don't feel any different being 26 but I am conscious of the fact that Jon turns 30 in April (and I keep reminding him too!)

Overall I couldn't have asked for a better start to the year!
This is the year that we plan on painting and raising our house. We will have to move out for a month or so while they raise the place, but Lex and I will shift back in with mum, and Jon is gonna borrow a friends caravan to live in the backyard!
