What a strange Christmas!
I received a call from Number One Son at 7.30am.
I don’t even remember what time I got up ... maybe a bit after 8am?
I made us a smoothie to start the day - pineapple, apple, raspberries, pear & coconut water.
We all sat down to finish last night’s Trivial Pursuit game. Beautiful Girl With Long Blonde Hair won.
We started another game but at 9.30am I decided it was time to start preparing lunch.
With BGWLBH as my assistant, we made roast pumpkin, spinach and pine nut salad, sweet potato salad, coleslaw, thyme lemon and honey chicken drumsticks, thyme and lemon zest chicken balls, grated fresh beetroot and carrot and finally, a mixed salad.
We had ham, prawns, sand crab and Adoring Husband cooked a roast pork on the barbecue rotisserie.
So much food! It took us three hours to prepare and fifteen minutes to eat!
We then opened our Christmas gifts.
At that point, 2.30pm, we decided to have a little rest and join together later in the afternoon.
I lay on the bed and promptly fell asleep.
I heard the home phone at 5pm but couldn’t get up fast enough to answer it. Vegan Chickie had been trying to contact me all day, to no avail.
AH had climbed into bed at about 4.30pm and that’s where he stayed, sound asleep until after 7.30pm.
BGWLBH put together some leftovers for her dinner but I was still sated from lunch. While she ate, I attempted to put together my new water filter but I discovered that the whole process takes about 48 hours so I didn’t get very far.
BGWLBH suggested that we walk over to Cheelii lagoon with our cameras to capture the sunset. Great idea until I discovered that my battery was flat! I used my phone to take these ...
Then the bats put on a show ...
I’m not sure what our plans are for tomorrow but it’s time to sleep for me now.
It’s on its way to midnight!
I hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas Day. For the first time, we had noisy neighbours on both sides of the fence so we remained indoors.
Nite all.
