Alas! The holidays are over!

Sadly the holidays are almost at an end. I did manage to achieve quite a bit: the house is much tidier and I've done some work on my thesis... and had many a pleasant lunch with friends.

I also took Jason who has been staying with us from Hanzhong (See BB's article about him here) up to visit nana at Mansfield. We had a lovely day with her, and also visited my aunts and uncles at Merrijig. Poor old BB had to stay home as his eye hurts at altitude - but we had fun without him.

On the way back I stopped and took this pic of a ruined house. I've often seen it on the way up and back from Mansfield and wondered who used to live in it. There's something rather picturesque and sad about ruined houses isn't there- I always wonder who lived there, who loved, cried, had children, and died there.

Beware of short hairy men......

I thought I'd join in the fun after BB discovered he was To Kill a Mockingbird... and guess what - I'm The Hobbit! Now that I wouldn't mind so much but the blurb below read a certain way is frankly disturbing.......
TTYS!

You're The Hobbit!

by J.R.R. Tolkien

All you wanted was a nice cup of tea when some haggard crazy old man
came into your life and told you it was time to do something with yourself. Now you're
all conflicted about whether to stick with your stay-at-home lifestyle or follow this
crazy person into the wild. While you're very short and a little furry, you seem to be
surrounded by an even greater quantity of short folks lately. Try not to lose your ring,
but keep its value in perspective!
