G'day buddies,
Fri 24 Dec Xmas Eve
What a busy day today Judy is in a panic over christmas as all the family are coming over on boxing day. Im a good girl though and helpout sorting stuff out and cleaning and washing up, yes i can really do all that stuff i will make a fantastic housewife one day, not! Madness, madness so i have to escape so i take the pooch for a very long walk to get out of the way for a while. John takes me into town later so we go for a beer in the pub to chill out from the madness back at home. For dinner that evening we have prawns, im not a seafood person but these were great and i think i could grow to like them. I have made plans to go out with David later that evening. I go to Davids for 9pm and he shows me his beach house which is really nice four bedrooms huge garden and the view of the sea out of the front room window, lucky guy. We go out to San Remo and go to one of the two pubs in the
mmm donuts!
Huge Homer Simpson place and then after a while we go to the other one which is rammed full of young gorgeous surfers and im in heaven. There is a group on stage and they are really good, well they were rappers so it was certainly different and when there was a break some people were on stage doing poi with uv balls and they looked fantastic. Since me and David were only going out for a couple of hours we did really well to return home at 2.30am and when he drops me off he asks when im free next as he wants to take me out for dinner and hey who am i to argue with that so we plan to meet up after boxing day. So all in all a very interesting end to a mad day.
Sat 25th Dec Xmas Day
Merry Christmas. Ok maybe not that merry as i wake up at a very stupid 7.30am, duh, feeling very tired after only 5hrs sleep and a tad hungover. john and Judy are awake already and are opening presents so i get to work on opening mine that my parents very kindly sent me from England. John
Lindsay and Nathan
Johns son Lindsay and his son Nathan and Judy have gotten me a present and it is some PJ's that Melissa picked out for me whilst we were in Melbourne. As i am up so early i decide to get a shower to wake myself up and then take a wander down to the beach with the dog to go and reflect on my life! I go past Davids house and he is up already so he shouts me and comes down to me for a chat, the crazy man has been for a run already at this ungodly hour. I wish him a merry xmas and go running off to the beach. Me and Sandy go paddling in the sea for a while and when i have a sit down on a rock Sandy decides to Christen me as one of the family by taking a wee up my leg, bloody charming but you have to laugh, definatley a first for me being weed on by a pooch. I get back and get ready to take a trip into Melbourne to see all of Judys family for xmas lunch. Two hours and thirty minutes later we arrive at the destination of Gina and Davids house, Gina
Joanne and Brendan
Joanne Lindsays wife and their son Brendan is Judys niece. Gina is fantastic and is so full of energy that she is an inspiration to all. Judys other niece is there Liza and her husband Sheldon. Melissa and Glen are there too and also Judys brother John. Ginas home used to be a school that has been made into houses and it is huge it has a massive open kitchen lounge diner and the really long windows you get in school. The house also has a shared gym, sauna, pool and tennis courts. Christmas lunch is certainly different we have cold ham, chicken, suchi, veggies, rolls dips, salmon, pasta and seafood and no TURKEY. Loads of delicious puddings to choose from as everyone brings something with them so i opt for the berry crumble with loads and loads of cream yum. After a couple of hours and a few drinks we start the journey back. Whilst on the way home we see this guy sitting on the fence in his front garden on the main road with a huge mansize Homer Simpson that moved and talked and everyone was waving at him and beeping their car horns. We get back around 7pm so i decide to head
Adrian and Corey
Johns son Adrian and his son Corey down to the beach and practice some poi and watch the sun go down but the sun is taking it's time so i will watch it tomorrow. Speak to the olds when i get back on the phone and my brother even gets out of bed to speak to me, bless him, it is strange to think my xmas day is just finishing and theirs is just starting. Just a veg out tonight with some wine and beer and i try not to think of all the screaming kids tomorrow.
Sun 26th Dec Boxing day
Up early this morning to help Judy to stop her panicking about getting things ready for all the family coming. When all is done i escape the madness for a while and take Sandy for a walk. I get back and sit a nd relax whilst i wait for everyone to arrive. Sandy seemed to manage to escape and was found sitting in the middle of the road whilsta car is hooting it's horn so thank god he didn't get run over. Judys eldest son Mark and his wife Gretel and boys Adam and Chris were the first of the troops to arrive
Kerryn and Emilie
Adrians partner Kerryn and their daughter Emilie and all the rest came soon after. Joannes mom Dot came too so we had a bit of a tribe of us. Gina and David came with Ginas two boys Zac and Brandon. All in all it was a fantastic day and the weather was gorgeous and i got another couple of crissy pressies too. Everyone started to go at about 5pm but Kerryn and the kids were staying and Kerryns niece Amanda was too. I decide to go and watch the sunset tonight as the weather has been so gorgeous it should be a good one. In my very drunken state i go and see if David is home to see if he wants to come and join me. I find him waving at me from over the road at John and Judys friends John and Joyces. I pinch David to come and watch the sunset and promise to join John and Joyce for a drink when we get back. The sunset is truely amazing and the sky changes to a beautiful orange with a jade colour green streaking across the sky. Me and David go back to John and Joyces for a couple of drinks and then we
Gina and David
Judys niece Gina go over the road to Davids house and i try and teach him how to do poi which is a funny sight. Luckily i had remembered to phone Judy to say where i was so they didn't think i had been kidknapped so i toddled off home at 2.30am to my nice comfy bed.
