Clean Christmas

I was cleaning an appartment today that is for sale for about 2.6 millions dollars if anyones interested. Lake view and sauna. The back view is onto a brick wall. No ma cup o' tea. Have got two more to clean. Sigh. The novelty could wear off pretty quick.
Our local B&Q kinda shop, called Mitre 10 was open late tonight so we went to do a little Christmas shopping. Before you knew it there was a fibre optic Christmas tree in the living room. And it's only the 3rd of December. I've gone into shock. Maybe I'll get away with no tinsel.
While you are enjoying a lovely seasonal frost, we are anticipating 'a strong, moist nothwest airstream' bringing heavy rain. The children have managed back and forth from school so far with only one light dooking. The weather here seems to be changing over the years, though only about 50% of people think there's a global warming issue. Despite New Zealands fresh and healthy image, it's in the top 10 with it's carbon foot print.
This quiet wee town of about 6500 people is allegedly to swell to about 40,000 over Christmas and New Year. I do hope Mary doesn't want me to clean up after that lot.
