Boxing Day



Christmas is over for another year. This year is the first time we have been on our own for many many years. The weather was cold, so all those people having a hot dinner were luckly but we had a lovely seafood lunch with a very nice bottle of champagne at home. Today we drove to Cronulla and walked along the walkway until the wind sent us home.

Xmas lunch at Louise's

The post office ladies gathered at Louise's home for Christmas lunch and we had a lovely time catching up on news and gossip. I had so much to eat that that was enough for the day. Yesterday I caught up with Denice at Hurstville Westfield and had lunch at Collenade.

Christmas outings w/e 9th Dec


Eating out twice this weekend. Went to Star City casino for work's Christmas party and the food was ok - typical smorgshboard.
Everyone came and after the meal, some had a flutter on roulette. Marlene lost her $20 but Christian won $80. Today, we drove to Bulli Tops - Panorama House for the manager's Christmas outing. Nice meal, but wine was not good, in fact John drank squash - he, luckily, was the driver today. On the home front - we now have only one hen left as two died (old age). John said he would get more next weekend. The cockatiels have been sitting on dud eggs, so I took out the nesting box and will replace it in a couple of weeks after the birds put on weight again.

This is me going to work last week. Christmas at the post shop is not much fun, in fact, it was a hectic week with people being grumpy and I felt the pressure after being there only an hour. I was practicing using the timer on the camera, that worked but not the flash. I must not have pressed the right button. On Saturday morning after speaking to Katrina on the webcam, I got another call, and who should I see but Fiona, Andrew and Lucy. It was lovely.
