Above is a little prototype quilt which was a bit dull, so I cut it up and stitched it back together.  I might stitch it some more then call it done. 

I'm all dressed up ready to go to Riscy's staff Christmas party.  His company doesn't hold back, it is a huge event, a enormous seafood buffet affair, all you can drink alcohol and a cover band.

Today was the big deadline at work.   A cumination of a year of work.  Everything was squared away by lunchtime so I took the afternoon off and went shopping.  I spent a fortune on two outfits, shoes and jewelery and I'm refusing to let the guilt in.  I've been recycling my party outfits for years, so I suppose it was time to update.

Tommorow, we have my staff social club christmas party.  A much more modest affair, but it should be fun.

The plan is that I will resist overindulging in alcohol.  ahem.

For those wondering.  The bushfire issues here are very serious.  I don't think the Latrobe Valley is in threat, but a huge area of East Gippsland and North East Victoria is affected.  It now all depends on the weather and the wind.  Thankfully the smoke has not come our way for the last couple of days.
