So different...just a day later

I enjoyed doing something different on Christmas Day this year. My daughters and I had a lovely lunch at home and then we headed into the city to see Into the Woods. It was a preview session so we feel lucky to have seen it before it officially begins showing here on January 8th. All three of us enjoyed it too. 

 Adelaide was very quiet on Christmas Day. I haven't seen it so quiet in a very long time. Rundle Mall was especially quiet given that no shops were open. I took a photo of the Malls Balls. 


How different the mall was just a day later. We decided to head in to the Boxing Day Sales in Rundle Mall. It's the first time we've been to Rundle Mall on Boxing Day and I expected it to be busy but was surprised by just how busy it was! Here's a photo taken in approximately the same spot. 


So different...just a day later

We had a successful day shopping (well, a couple of hours) and bought what we planned to. Can't say I'm keen for those crowds again anytime soon though. Part of the reason for being able to visit the city on Christmas Day and to do some shopping on Boxing Day was that our family Christmas get together was held belatedly due to various family member's commitments. We've just got home after a very enjoyable picnic in the park. Now, after a great day in the sunshine today, I'm looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow (and some reading).

    Love the card and the hat on the ball. We have sun, too, but it is very chilly! Summer here is a long time away.

    Well, that's different! As well as the hat, the bottom ball would need a thick coat if it was here right now!

    It's amazing how a single day makes such a difference, eh?

    We avoided the Boxing Day crowds - going today instead!

    I only ever went to Boxing Day sales once, at the insistence of a friend... it's not for me! :( I probably would have liked Into the Woods though. Very best wishes for 2015!

    The sunny no-coat weather is a difference for all of us who live up north!

    I'll take the sunshine but you can keep the crowds. I don't need/want anything bad enough to deal with all of those people... I'm hoping an extra day will thin the crowds here since I do need to go out today. Wishing you a very happy 2015!

    What a wonderful time you must have all had! I can't wait to see Into the Woods too! Great pictures too!
