Christmas.....again!!!!

Summer hasn't really started here yet and the weather is quite miserable.....even the heating still comes on in the morning!

Grandad, Laura and Abigail arrived on the 13th and couldn't shake the jetlag, but the giant prawns on the BBQ made up for the loss of sleep. While they went off to Cairns and Sydney we went about doing some Christmas shopping and orgnanising the goose (which by the way was a disaster...the thinnest goose from some concentration camp goose farm.....fatten them up for heaven's sake!!!!!!) At least the stuffing was delicious and the ham that Grandad made turned out really well.

The rest of the days were filled with trips to Sorrento, Yering Station winery, Yarra Valley Dairy, Crown Casino and more shopping!!! Plus I had a day out just with Grandad at the NGV and a special lunch at Nobu, thanks Dad! And it had to be the hottest day when I dropped you all off at the airport on the 31st - 41 degrees!!!!


As Noddy Holder would say, Its Christmas...................
