Rum & Dal

Well, Saturday just gone we heard there was a parade for Christmas going through the CBD, so we thought we’d go check it out.  Stopped off at EB games first to pick another Xbox game, have to get our priorities right!  The parade took a while to kick in, there were loads of charachters we recognised and others we simply did not.  There were also a couple of famous faces, but again we couldn’t tell you who they were either!  On a brighter note I got to do a high five with a Storm Trooper. 

 The sun was out and it felt so weird to even be thinking of Christmas when the sun is shining!  The Christmas tree, decorations and Santa all felt out of place, guess we will just have to get used it.  Anyway, as we were at the end of the parade, Santa got off his sleigh somewhere in the middle so we didn’t get to see him.  Best comment from a parent to her child was, “See, I told you he didn’t exist!”  I didn’t see the childs face but Rum had a good laugh

Forgot to mention that the bhangra dancers in the parade were awful.  They seriously lacked in any kind of enthusiasm, whether they were any different towards the top of the parade, I don’t know but see for yourself here. The best would have to be the Scottish bagpipes, they played through till the end and sounded awesome.  Well done to them, check them out here. We also missed the lighting of the Christmas Tree in the evening… oh well, better luck next year hey?
