There was a post on FaceBook today or maybe it was yesterday saying something like there are still 364 days until Christmas and some people already have their lights up. We have loved the Christmas lights this year - and we have seen a few - on the Gold Coast, in Lismore and in Toowoomba. We know for next year that we need to get to some lights earlier in the night - we had a few that went "click-click" on us - which is our shorthand for saying that the creative and well-meaning house-holders turned off their lights just as we approached. With a couple we actually saw the lights go off - with others we didn't and that started what was then a mystery for us because we didn't know what had happened - in Lismore especially ... we saw a house not far from us which we missed on the first go around the block - and then we couldn't find it again ... what the? ... and the what is because they had turned the lights off. I would like to say we worked it out then and there but it wasn't until the next morning that it dawned on us. And what a relief that was ... you know how it is when you think you have a good sense of direction ... and then it seems like you really don't?
