Advent Blog-a-long #23 where's the day gone?

I have done NOTHING remotely Christmassy today! Today was moving day for the boat. For those who don't know we bought a vintage (ex) trawler years ago, oh dear it was UGLY. My husband has spent the last 4 years and practically every weekend renovating it into a more original version complete with bunks so we can sleep on it eventually. In this time we managed to source a mooring in the passage and by some miracle the mooring we were given was right off the front of the mainland where there are only minimal boats moored AND it's literally a stones throw from Nanna's house. Standing at her back gate you can now see our boat.

So the day has been spent dropping husband off, taking some photos of her journey and racing over to Nanna's where we walked along the bridge to get some shots as they boys drove her to her new home.

Arriving home later than expected I was disappointed to find ONE of the Christmas presents ordered hadn't arrived in time for Christmas, but absolutely stoked to find a letter from the College with the results of my first assignment I submitted. I was so excited to see I had earned a Distinction!

YAY ME! For the record, a Distinction is the 2nd highest result (there are 7 rankings) Best Christmas Present Ever… (well actually a new Blythe doll will be the best chrissy present ever, but this comes pretty darn close and it's giving me the oomph I need to start the next assignment!)

And congratulations on your distinction! That is just so fantastic and I'm very happy for you!

(Will be very happy if you get your Blythe doll too!)
