A 72 hour crescendo to Christmas 2018. Until this point, there was no lights on the tree, no presents, and no conceivable path to redeeming the Christmas I had envisaged. I waited another 24 hours to do anything physical about this.
family of legends
One of the guys in this family is Tom, and he was my husbands best mate when they were little and living in country Victoria. I found my husbands school books and laughed to see ‘Favourite activity: building cubbies with Tom.” They took this next level by becoming builders for the same company in Darwin. In fact, it gets weirder. They even had daughters three days apart, who both have blonde, curly hair. And both have been known to mistake their father for the other father which they can be forgiven for given that both guys are blonde, tanned, wear matching work issued hard-yakka clothing and drive the same branded work utes.
