Brown paper packages tied up in string, these are a few of my favourite things.
Highlight of the week-getting a parcel on Friday!!
Amy and I walked to the Post Office to check the mail. This is a bi-weekly event which sorely tests our friendship. When you get a letter it's wonderful but you have to try hard not to look loved,glowingly happy or sickeningly smug! If your friend gets a letter (and you don't) then you have to work even harder to not look unloved, jealous and bitter!
This week neither of us was tested since we both got big parcels! Naturally we couldn't wait to get home and open them so we popped into the shopping centre for a rest and parcel opening session. We politely queued up for our yoghurt drink and yuka bread and then got bored of waiting and starting untying string and brown paper at the counter. Poor little man serving us looked quite confused! Yet another "crazy white girls" moment for us. Amy got a big shoe box filled with goodies from her small group and I got books (wohoo) from the lovely Eileen.
Cries of delight, gloating over surprises and comparing gifts, it was like Christmas but just a bit earlier...and hotter!
