Parcels in the post

"MINCE PIE!!
CHECK YOUR MAIL!
CLOSE YOUR BLINDS!
BUY HOT CHOCOLATE IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE OUR FRANKIE SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE HERE!!"

 This is the message I received from my friend Kayla that forced me to go and check my letter box. Inside, I found two parcels and one letter addressed to me. 

 The letter was from the government ("Congratulations on your completion of grade 12, have you considered your options for university?") and the two parcels contained..

 A) The first of my frankie subscriptions, that I'll be receiving upon my doorstep for the rest of the year, free of charge:

  B) My copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies:

Later tonight, after I've showered and made myself a cup of chai tea, I'll settle down and get stuck into reading a bit of both ♥

 Oh, and I just wanted to share this photo! On Sunday I went up to Kuranda to visit my aunt, uncle and cousin, and we popped in to mother bear's friend's place to hang out, and she has this enormous dog (quite appropriately) named Bear. He's the sweetest thing in the world and loves a good head scratch, but smells like wet dog. Anyway, yeah. He's gigantic and fluffy, and makes their other dog Barney looks quite small and pathetic in comparison, but Barney makes up for Bear's lack of spasticity by being a mental little mutt. I love them both.
