Day 69 (Sunday 24th December) Christmas Eve
Dan's mum Jude and husband Bob had us over for a Christmas dinner. Christmas has felt a little wierd this year (not that Marc's complaing), so to have a good old family get together was really good. Dan's folks really made an effort for us and even even gave us some prezzies...bless!
We passed the rest of the day just chilling back at Ria and Dan's and their mate 'Prok' came over later that evening and was full of stories and places to go.
Everyone was stuffed after their Christmas meal, but not Marc, who drove back out to get an Indian takeaway that evening...what a pig!
PS Thanks for the message Uncle Gary, Happy Christmas too! Do explain the whole 'Unici G' thing though???????
Day 70 (Monday 25th December) Christmas Day
Merry Christmas everyone!
Ria had us up at some stupid time to open our Christmas pressies. Bless them they bought Marc some aftershave and Sarah some jewellery. Then they were off for breakfast round keith's (lucky them)...and who invites people around for Christmas breakfast anyway?
We on the other hand headed off to the beach. Unfortunately however, after all our bosting, the weather was pretty cruddy, but we were determined to hit the beach all the same. We should have given up long before though when virtually five minutes from the beach, we realised we'd forgotten the barbie.
So we drove all the way back and once finally returning to the beach, the gail-force winds and drizzly weather finally put a stop to our 'beach Christmas'. Unpeturbed, we simply took the barbie back to Ria and Dan's and had it in the garden!
We cooked up our chicken (turkey substitute), ready-made roast potatoes, 'pigs in blankets' and veg (not quite up there with our mum's) and whilst pulling some crackers, ate our meal.
Later that evening we went down to Dan's uncle Bill's mansion for another family get together and would you believe it, we all huddled around the fire to keep warm! Apparently it was the coldest and most miserable Christmas Day they can ever remember...bloody typical!!!!
We got back very late, lwatched some music channels, before hitting the sack.
PS Happy Christmas 'Princess KT' and Jody! We did try telling you about the website but your email addresses were wrong...glad we've finally got you on board!
