Well Christmas is making a showing here.
The supermarket has Christmas decorations, Christmas food and Christmas sweets (but thankfully no Christmas presents). The hall are decked with boughs of (paper) holly and the Christmas trees are up.
In fact the corner of the next block has gone so far as to put down a red carpet and erect a twenty foot Christmas tree. And the thing is, because it's summer, the carpet won't be completely ruined by rain and snow and it'll retain its essential redness well into January.
Here's a close up of the Christmas tree - I don't know where it came from or how real it is but it does look pretty. If you look carefully, you can just see some other decorations including small Christmas trees.
It is a bit weird though, looking at Christmas trees while wandering around in t-shirts. I'm finding it difficult to come to terms with the idea and I haven't done anything about it (ie, no pressie buying)

Shiralee,
I liked your photos of the Christmas trees. They are gorgeous and I agree entirely about Christmas in the sunshine ... it feels very strange. Here in hot and sunny Melbourne the fake snow in shop windo displays seems particularly out of place. Still, I hope you have a lovely Christmas and both Mike and I wish you all the best for 2007.
kind regards,
Rita.
p.s. Mike has now put heaps of his pegs on his blog spot and is now trying to write interesting articles about them .... as you can imagine, he has many stories.
