Spent the weekend playing with my new camera (yay!).....I love this baby sooo much. The pictures documented are from our Christmas celebrations (one week early as we will be on a plane on the 25th). We sat around the tree and exchanged gifts and then moved on to an outdoors Christmas barbeque (the great Aussie tradition). Mum is as bad as me when it comes to Christmas (and by bad, I mean obsessed!) and so between us there was the tree, the random decorations, the Christmas crackers for the place settings, the Christmas runner on the table, the reindeer, and the good ol' Christmas cheer. Good times :)

p.s. watched Avatar today and it is a brilliant film. Not in the manner of District 9, but in the mainstream perception (which I can certainly recognise and be impressed by). The storyline tends to the cliche and some of the details are foggy, but the imagery and surrealism and special effects of the film make it worthwhile and a true experience. Watched in 2D and we may just have to go back and watch it in 3D. And yes, I'd go back and watch it tomorrow. And how ocker Aussie is Sam Worthington's accent in the film??!! Noice touch, mate!

p.p.s. Stuart's and my top 2 picks of the year are both from the sci-fi genre.....District 9 and Avatar. What movies have impressed you this year? And what did you think of Avatar?

Mmmh So to be Honest my favourite picture is by far the last One, which tends to put Christmas under such a "BOMBnextDoor-esque" sign !!!
ps: Actually I haven't seen "Avatar" yet BUT I Frankly think that Somebody who realized a (stainless) Masterpiece as "Terminator II" can Only be a Genius !!!

à Bientôt, Antoine

Hmmm.... it's a bit strange Xmas with not a lot of clothes.. ;-)
I haven't seen "Avatar" yet and who knows when I'll see it.

Happy Holidays

I've yet to see Avatar. My son and his buddies saw it yesterday and said it was a long 3 hours watching them keep attempting to blow up a tree to get to a rock. I'm like what???? So must see it myself during holiday break.

Hey beautiful!

I'm not kidding around... why don't we live closer to one another! This is crazzzy! But in all seriousness, babe, your comments always bring the biggest smile. And yes we definitely need a closet swap soon!!!! I don't even care if I lose. ;)

So happy for you and your new cam... just imagine all the camerawhoring and good times ahead!!! LOL. These shots are gorgeous, but I'm still baffled that it's almost Christmas... where did the year go?

Wishing you well and sending lots of love your way. Miss you, love you. Merry Christmas!

You look exactly like the T4 presenter Nikita. You should look her up on google, you look exactly alike. Anyway, I really like your outfit, especially the shoes, I wouldn't mind a pair myself. Good old early Christmas.
