Hopefully the Palestinian and Jordanian don't both just bring hummus and bread
Hopefully the Palestinian and Jordanian aren't both thinking "hope the Kiwi doesn't do Pavlova - it's just meringue and whipped cream FFS. Yeah and isn't it dinki di Aussie anyway?"
Yep! You need to do a rolled shoulder of Christmas lamb, @Nepia!!
We're already doing a roast chicken as the "main" - plus I live in inner city Sydney, like I can afford lamb after paying my accomodation costs.
I've got 2.5kgs of rolled pork loin going cheap...comes infused with the Northern Beaches Rona
Hahaha, I'll head over grab it, get tested, go into iso and sit at home for Xmas playing PS4 but well stuffed with pork.
Just checked it on the ferry for you bro, and I threw in one of these that I spotted at my local Coles today - you're set!

Well, it's a shitty time for us and our Christmas has been cancelled thanks to the new Tier 4 restrictions, and I'm now spending Christmas on my own away from Mrs Meldrew's family and her very ill mother in Kent, but the Christmas spirit is still strong.
Rang the cattery to cancel the cat's accommodation and explained the reason for the cancellation. Straightaway, the owner gave me his home and mobile number and ordered me to call him day or night over Christmas in case anything happened and I needed to get the cats sorted out quickly. Simple gesture but hugely welcome. Top bloke

Just the 4 of us now Tier 4.
Kids presents, run, start on the wellington, grazing snacks, mull with the Neighbour’s, open a 2002 Bordeaux, finish Wellington, gorge, Nap.
Churros, port, movie with kids.
That’ll be it. Can’t whinge really!
What time is the opening of the Bordeaux? Lockdown or not, can be there to help you through things.

Sounds perfect mate, Taking the Caterham out for a spin?

@Victor-Meldrew she’s SORN’d mate. Back in April.
Like life in the UK!

@Victor-Meldrew bro we've got too much food. You're welcome to sit out in the backyard and feed off what we throw out the sliding doors, it's just us two.

@Catogrande estimate corkage around half past fuck off with drinking commencing around 30 after that.

@Bones
Ha ha! I've actually got a 6 person Christmas dinner in the freezer.I'm probably going to have a rib-eye I bought from the farmer opposite a month or so back with a 1999 Kalimna Bin 28, some Delia Smith Christmas Pudding Ice Cream & finish off the 1/8 bottle of Johnnie Walker Green Label. This will need to be worked around the Zoom call schedule.

Arguably the most apt description I've heard of life at the moment...

Nice choice. I've still got two bottles sitting in the wine fridge of this vintage, plus some more of the 2003.
Under-rated bottle when it came out but has aged very nicely.
Cheers

@RoninWC Bin 28 being Shiraz? If so, I think I’ve tried it but only relatively young. Sadly we don’t seem to get much of the good SH stuff up here.

Bought 6 bottles of 2000 Birchwood McLaren Vale Shiraz a year or so ago. Bargain at £14 a bottle.

Yep. Keeps forever.
I'm starting to move away from Bordeaux and taking a punt on decent Oz reds. Stick ing with Rioja & Chateau Musar as dependable, reliable reds.

Loving the "Fuck Covid but by Christ we'll make the best of what we can" attitude in here. It's obviously pretty shit, but I hope Christmas is enjoyable despite Covid's worst efforts.
Looks like the worst will be over by Spring with the vaccine roll-out. Just in time to get the GSX out again...
