So far so good! I admit to phoning it in a little this year though. I think I’ve run out of fucks to give.

Sympathising with you all the way from New Zealand. $11.19 for 500g Anchor butter here, which used to be the main brand for bakers but that price is absolutely ridiculous.

The older I get, the more I hate Xmas shopping. What am I even supposed to get boomer parents or siblings who are now all 40+ and have everything they need & most things they want? Even the niblings are now old enough that all they want is a new iPhone or whatever. I got them all books instead.

Enjoy! Hope it’s not crazy busy for ya (but it probably will be) and not too hot (but wear lots of sunscreen anyway). My MIL works in the gift shop & says they’ve been crazy busy.
