I bought a table :B $20, and then after we'd loaded it into Mum's car and it fit super easily, he asked if I'd like to take the chairs off his hands, too, as a freebie. So now I have six matching chairs in place of the hodgepodge of mismatched stuff I've been using.

The table is a little wobbly, but nothing some heavy sanding won't fix, and then I can strip back the varnish and whitewash it. It's perfect, exactly what I was after!

And now backtracking, because I've had a hell of a busy couple of weeks. New Year's Eve was delightful. Alex came over from Sydney, so we've been catching up almost daily since Christmas, including of course NYE, which we spent at one of her friends' places. It was a lovely gathering of five of us, fun music, plenty of party pies and chips and dip and dumplings and awesome.

I also brought two cocktails--golden dream and brandy Alexander, because I couldn't decide. The golden dream, which is Galliano, triple sec, orange juice and cream, went down extremely well, so much so as to be called the best cocktail ever by some X3 I felt happy. It was all just a lovely, happy gathering.

I'm still on holidays this week, thank god, cos I don't reckon I could've gone back on Tuesday. This is a Good Holiday and I'm glad it's continuing.
