The Goose is getting fat
Much as predicted, this weekend saw a variety of Christmas fare. On Saturday, Anna & I were out buying the turkey and a few trimmings for our dinner next week, although we didn't have any luck with the brussel sprouts - all the grocers kept shrugging their shoulders in a sprouts-don't-grow-at-this-time-of-year way. We also organised our tree, which Anna decorated and I rocked-around. In the evening, we joined a few friends to attend the Carols in the Domain extravaganza. There was a big turn-out this year, as the weather was clearer than last, and we managed to avoid most of the attacks from the fruit-bats as they went about their usual dusk flights. Sunday was pretty hot, so we went for a swim (while Glenn McGrath was demolishing the Pakistan batting) before packing up our bags for the evening drive down to Canberra. Hopefully, we put enough water in the base of the tree to survive the next few days while we're away! Chrisposted at 2:17 pm
Chris,
I'll get some sprouts sent in a jiffy bag.....
Might be a bit mouldy by the time they get there, and they might be impounded by customs...well at least the thought was there !
All the best
Love to both
Gray
