Jingle bells, jingle bells..

And so this is Christmas.. What? Where? When? At Woolworths!! I was caught surprised at my afternoon shopping when they suddenly tuned their loud speakers in to play Jingle Bells. Forget about the apples, bread, yoghurt, and all that stuff you went to get from the supermarket, it's time for some Christmas shopping. It's November, it's 30 degrees (+30!!), you are standing there with your beach bag and bikini, it's summer.. and believe me it feels really weird. How can it be Christmas in summer? How can they put up a fake Christmas tree on the square out there? How can Santa bring me Christmas presents in a one-horse open sleigh if there is no snow?! What a messed up world! But people adjust, they fit in new environments, they change habits, they replace, adapt and come up with new versions. Here's a rhyme from the Aussie version of Christmas songs, 'Six White Boomers' (where boomers are large kangaroos). Let me giggle :D

Six white boomers, snow white boomers,
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun.
Six white boomers, snow white boomers,
On his Australian run.

Sunday. South Bank Beach. It looks like it's becoming a habit. A good habit :P Late mornings, breakfast at lunch (2 in 1). Don't get used to it, K! (a)
