turpsWe went to see Grandads headstone yesterday. It seems strange saying he's in a nice place but he is, at least he will be in summer when all the flowers bloom. Yesterday it was just weird. It was such a raw day and he's next to the children's part of the cemetery so all you could hear was the hundreds of windchimes dinging together in the wind. All those graves were decorated for Christmas with tinsel, Santa's and toys. It was such a beautiful, colourful area in the otherwise blank landscape but of course there's the atmosphere of sadness over the whole thing. It makes me wonder about the mentality of people that steal from graves like that, any graves in fact. Those toys are put their with love, how anyone could take them is beyond me.
We also put the Christmas decorations up which is why I didn't get online. Instead we spent time wrestling with lights and tinsel. I wasn't going to put them up, the tradition is they go up on the 1st for James' birthday but this week is insane in terms of things that need doing on the nights so James wanted to do it last night as heavens help us if they're not up by the 1st. None of the outside stuff is up yet but inside we're pretty much done.
Man, stealth visit attack by nanna has just ended and now I'm behind on my plans for the day. Mortgage man is coming later and there's only one couch with actual seating space at the moment. Which suggests that I really should be doing something productive rather than sitting here yet here I still sit.
Sesa is at the 'oh god it sucks why did I even think this was a good idea' stage, however that should pass soon. I go through a stage of hating everything I write and this is no different. But still why I decided to go with something where dialogue is important is beyond me.
I guess I'd better move my ass and get things sorted. Is this week over with yet?

Date: 2004-11-29 06:35 am (UTC)I hear everyone on the flist talking about doing Xmas shopping, and having finished them all, and having bought the cards and having decorated the house and I'm longing for my turn *g*
It feels more crazy than Christmassy in this household right now - though we're used to it, and seeing we'll all part of the job craziness, it's all right... kinda lol But hey, this weekend I'll be a little bit richer already and I'll be able to seriously think of starting some of my shopping...
Then again, Big Tops Frenzy or not, I feel the Christmas love already - it'll be there soon enough for me, I just have to a bit patient *beams*
