The best of Brisbane during the technology freeze

I'm sure a few of you are wondering what was happening at PTT's Brisbane Headquarters during my unexpected Australian technology freeze.

Here's a summary...

Princess and Princess PTT were introduced to the concept of grass without a guard standing beside it to stop interested parties (God forbid!) walking on it...


We gorged ourselves silly at that fabulous Brisbane institution The Breakfast Creek Hotel...





Prince PTT took it upon himself to gorge himself on a Mango a day...


We played tourists and went on The Wheel of Brisbane...



We dined out al fresco whenever we could...


Princess PTT turned 4...




I'm sure Prince and Princess PTT heard Santa up the chimney on Christmas Eve...



Christmas Day was fabulous...




I introduced PTT to the joys of ironing (not!)...


I snuck in a sneaky Yatala pie on our trip back from the Gold Coast...


You'd have to agree, we had a fabulous time!

Yours,

Yes Prince and Princess PTT, there is a Santa Claus

Tonight we went to the big smoke to see the big man himself... That's right! Santa was paying a special pre-christmas naughty or nice trip to old Brisbane town!

Here's Prince and Princess PTT checking out some mall entertainment... If you are puzzled by the costumes and think that world war three has broken out... fear not... they were Andrews Sisters tribute singers....



Here's Nanny PTT and Princess PTT - They have the spirit! Check out their festive colour choices...




The Myer Christmas Windows are a big part of a Brisbane Child's Christmas entertainment. I remember going to town all dressed up to see how they were going to decorate the windows each year.  This year's theme was Santa Claus is coming to Town....


 Prince and Princess PTT were impressed...



Here I am! I wore Juicy Couture dress, Marc Jacobs quilted bag and Witchery sandals. I smelt like a lovely vanilla perfume that I purchased in Paris years ago and keep in Brisbane. Princess PTT wore a red smocked dress from Hong Kong's Stanley Markets, Seed sandals and hair bow hand-made by me. Prince PTT wore Ben Sherman shirt, Zara shorts and Gap shoes.


Like every year since Prince PTT was born, we went to Myer to see Santa. Oddly, to see him we have to walk through his mouth...


We are also encouraged to feed him our litter?!?


And sit on his sawn off knees?!?


It was worth it in the end... Santa was lovely!


Prince PTT asked for a rubber boat and Princess PTT asked for a hand bag and lipstick.

Surprise, surprise - they made it on the 'nice' list!

Wiggly Fun...

Today Nanny PTT and I took Prince and Princess PTT to an Australian Christmas institution... a Wiggles Concert!



This year it was in The Big Top at the RNA Show Grounds...



The poor Wiggles are getting on a bit. They are celebrating their 20th anniversary together this year. The Purple One has gone grey and the Red One builds up a sweat pretty quickly. They try hard though and Princess PTT spent half the gig dancing in the aisles so I presume she enjoyed it.

Prince PTT took a little more convincing... Judging by the rest of the audience he might have been a tad too old for wiggly fun...
