Yep, that’s my fate, sunny and 34C for Xmas day, I’ll just have to bear it with a glass of local produce. Happy solstice back atcha.
I can listen to that song a dozen times in a row and cry every time (yes, I know from experience). I think it’s a lot because I can’t be with my family at Christmas, on top of everything else about it. It’s simply beautiful.
On Christmas day I’ll toast Tim Minchin with a glass of white wine while this song plays in the background (the Sun may be optional).
I cried.
Ah..so nice of Tim. Except the animated baby is a trifle weird looking.
My day’s revision for my finals and “Indian Pizza” for a treat (it’s like a 2 mile hike to get it and back)
I intend to eat it while watching Christmas cooking shows.
