This is one of my twitters from today. NOTHING was open in Perth. I drove to 5 different photo shops to try and buy some polaroid film for tonights events. Not even a processing lab. I was so very frustrated.

trying
to make it feel like Christmas by listening to carols: old school with Bing and Sammy and Dean. It’s not working. Hot weather and singing about snow does not cut it for me I’m afraid.
