New year

I hope everyone has had a good Christmas and New Year.
I don't know if anyone else feels the same way but it all seems a bit peculiar at the moment, life in general I mean. There is a weird atmosphere or something and everything seems to hae slowed down, it's like being in hibernation.

It's a a shame about Woolworths, I took a picture of it just before it closed down:

It's cleared out and empty now, I keep meaning to take another photo of it.

Here's another photo of nothing in particular, just because I thought it was funny:


Also it seems to be one of those periods where everthing you own starts breaking. It's not enough for one thing to break, there seems to be a rule of three.

First the kettle broke, then the washing machine, and now the vacuum cleaner. Not only that, but the new kettle broke too. Luckily dad fixed the washing machine but the future of the vacuum cleaner is under discussion at this very moment.

I have to say the third kettle is a lot better than the second one, it looks a lot nicer.
