HO HO HOOOOOOOOOOOO
G,day all back home.
Here we are again coming up to that time of the year where the general public are going rather insane and spending all that well saved cash for Christmas, yes christmas again,, less than 4 weeks and it will be on us again. Now I hear you asking,"whats christmas like down under", well lets try and explain.
Christmas that time of year when it can get very warm, and it makes you much warmer if your in the city and theres these Idiots outside the shops dressed as father christmas in all the robes and hair, when its a soaring 40 degrees centigrade, makes one sweat. Christmas dinner, yes turkey or boiled ham with all the trimmings, roast spuds, boiled greens and xmas pudding and cream for afters,,, in 40 degrees centigrade, makes one sweat.
Well we don't do anything like that we normally take a B.B.Q. and disappear somewhere and celebrate the day not all this drinking and eating to excess but just a few Bangers and some Chicken breasts, steaks, salad and a good bottles of wine and a beer and relax and enjoy our selves. Don't know what the boys are up to, but we will emjoy the afternoon with friends at one of the local parks.
I remember Christmas day, in my teens, jumping on the bike and cycling from Mile Cross to West Earlham, up to see Linda and her mother and father and to spend the day with them, and the journey home on the bike again, and you wouldn't see more than a dozen cars travelling the roads that day. Over here its bedlem, traffic wise on Christmas day, every one heading off for their summer holidays and the roads travelling along at snail pace. I always think the same thing as I sit, board to tears, in one of those holiday traffic stalemates. "I wonder if the guy at the fronts lost and didn't bring a map." well must go for now will chat later,,,,.
Well bye for now and have a drink for me this christmas
Robert, Linda and the boys
