We decided on a traditional day at home with Eddi.
Woke up and opened our pressies we had bought each other.
Had smoked salmon with scrambled egg for breakie, and Bucks Fizz...posh hey! Eddis idea. Was very nice and made a change.
Then Eddi and Paulie put a small joint of stuffed turkey in the oven and we poured our first sherry.
It was a baking day so Paul and Eddi just wore board shorts all day and nothing else, except the hats from our crackers ofcourse.
Lunch at 4pm...we had Turkey with Cranberry stuffing, sausages wrapped with bacon, roast pots, parsnips and carrots, sprouts, cauliflower and leek cheese and gravy. It was pretty yummy. Too full for Christmas pudding!
Watched a few films on the telly, drank lots of G&Ts and snoozed too. So had a nice relaxing day and stress free. Played cards in the evening and drank more.
Boxing Day we went to the beach with Eddi and his girlfriend Leona for a picnic bbq. Went for a nice swim with Eddi and had some sun action. Everyone else had the same idea so we weren't alone.
The day after that Paulie and I went to the Blue Mountains with a friend Kate, who we met in Fiji, and her brother. They had a camper van and we saw all the sights. The views were amazing looking over canyons filled with euculyptus trees and yes,there was a slight blue haze and lots of flies. Saw kangaroos in the wild, cockatoos, kookaburras and took some great photies. All in all a nice day out. Arya and Jono were staying up there with her father for a couple of days.
Last night we went to a party and a night out in Coogee. Saw a live band playing and met lots of Leonas and Eddis friends.
Tomorrow we set off to a beachhouse north of Sydney at Mc Masters beach, with 5 others including Eddi, Jono and Arya. We are there for New Years Eve and the week after. So should be fun and looking forward to moving on. We will then make our way up the east coast to Bryan Bay, Fraser Island and Brisbane.
Shall do another update from there...lots of Love Kate & Paulie xxx
