We have mask rules back again here because we opened the borders to the rest of Australia (previously you had to do 2 weeks quarantine when you came in) and cases are exploding, so many cases around here sadly. It's up to almost 100 now, about 9-12 a day which is unheard for here, we were covid 0 for so long!<br /><br />Hope that you are having a good weekend! :) We had a fun playdate at the park yesterday.<br /><br /><a href="https://awayfromtheblue.blogspot.com.au" rel="nofollow">Away From The Blue</a> Micahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06858487062882928298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-36578363697868407192021-12-18T18:58:16.990+01:002021-12-18T18:58:16.990+01:00Many congratulations on your 500th post Ann!

Thank you for the tour of your treasures. I adore the deer lamp and how fortunate that you were able to find some identical ornaments to the ones you remember from your grandparents' home. It's also wonderful to look back on old photos of happy times. As ever, your outfit choices are perfect for the conditions. I love a black floral print and that sparkly turquoise skirt is a great choice. Dull days need a little sparkle in some shape or form! I heard the hippo story too. What next?! It's looking as though our government might be coming under pressure from scientists to impose a 2 week lockdown over Christmas. We shall see...

That is quite an accomplishment, Ann! <br /><br />Wonderful outfits, and I always love getting a peek at some of the treasures you and Jos have found over the years. The art nouveau items are so charming! <br /><br />Bess is so beautiful - and she's cuddly?? Lucky you! Vizzini submits to my forced lovin' (he secretly likes it). He also sits up on his hind legs - it's so cute. <br /><br />Aw, thanks for thinking of me - save my credit card if I ever see an actual Essential Antwerp store!! <br /><br />Love your long-line cardigans - that makes me want to get mine out and get in their annual wearings. I've barely touched them this season! <br /><br />Wishing you a happy birthday to your dear departed mum. *hug* Happy weekend, my dear friend.
