Festive Season Update

Well it wasn't until Christmas Day that I was starting to feel almost normal after being sick. Went over to Mum and Dad's Christmas Eve to spend the night and do a Christmas morning there and even then wasn't feeling 100%. Still just a bit weird.

Happy to say it got better though and Christmas Day was ok for me physically. In terms of emotionally etc it was a great day. Got to spend the morning and Christmas present opening with my family early. Charlie had a ball, he absolutely loved ripping off the paper more than looking at the presents though! He got some good stuff though, in fact we all did! Awesome presents so thank you to everyone.

After a nice breakfast off the BBQ it was time to head off to Gympie and meet up with Bee's family for lunch. We left later than we wanted and traffic was a bit of a nightmare on a few occasions which meant we didn't arrive until about 13:30. Turns out they had waited for us for lunch which we told them not to do when we saw we were going to be lateish... but they also waited for presents all day too!

Opened some presents, mucked around in the spa and then had a nice lunch. Relaxed throughout the day and night with drinks, food and fun. Great way to finish off an enjoyable Christmas Family orientated day.

Boxing Day was more of the same in Gympie. Up for a nice breakfast and then we went out to the park. Despite a bit overcast weather Bee still managed to get sunburnt. We played some footy, cricket and attempted for a while to fly the kite. Then home to relax with some food and drinks and watch the cricket.

Relaxed a bit the next day with a movie (The Golden Compass... not that great) and then headed home Thursday night. Last night went out to a 10 year High School drinks affair. Not the proper reunion as that is now going to happen next year, but it was a pretty good turn out to be honest. Lots of faces you barely remember and lots of names you don't remember. Easy to do though in a class of some 400 students. I'm not sure I knew that many of them at the time, let alone now!

Got some drinks and dinner tonight with Wilson who is in town and a bunch of friends which means I need to get cleaning on the house. *sigh* And there is cricket on to distract me too...
