Got my bike back from the workshop yesterday afternoon...
So 25th-Dec - I'm plotting a full day's riding, ending in Taranaki at grandfather's place, who ain't doing well.
And reading this thread, with the mentions of delicious food and drink - particularly drink - I suddenly realised I'm going to spend all day riding, then get to my destination - without being able to buy any delicious delicious beer. I'm going to have to pretend to be pleased to accept a Speights Dark, or Tui.
Have I mentioned previously "Fuck Tui" ?
I might grab a bottle of whisky this afternoon, tuck it in the backpack, so at least there's something delicious, if not necessarily exactly refreshing.
Christmas lunch is looking like a BP pie. -
Well we can't get to our family, but we can get to friends. Friend is also a chef. Day will start with obligatory case of champagne and seafood from about 11 and then move to massive glazed ham, salads and bbq and whiskey later. Oh and for @Duluth a four pillars Christmas gin to go with their gin Christmas pudding.
If I don't drown in their swim spa due to obscene drunkeness then the stolen kiddie floaties will have done their job. Mrs Imports will doing her best to compete although I am sure I will last a few more hours than her, or so says the lazy $50 we have on itBets on Polly Grey @Hooroo and another mates horse Ranges at Randwick go on today.. as may lose phone tomorrow
boxing day will be massive hangover day..thank f&*k no one driving
merry xmas everyone

Nice, I just purchased a bottle of Christmas gin. I'm jealous about the Four Pillars pudding I've never seen it in a store here

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!
Well, 2021 has been one of the most epic shitters I can remember. Just so much poxy health news, fatalities and terminal illnesses in people we know. Suddenly feel really old.
On the bright side, got the opportunity to demonstrate my resilience. However, flush the dunny, it's done, let's move on.
Chilling out by the pool in nrothland at the moment, bbq breakfast with a cold, classic Steinlager before breakfast. Then a shared family lunch, followed by a quick trip further North to see the other set of parents. Croquet and christmas dinner, champagne and some good aussie reds. Going to be great, can't wait.
I'm taking a semi-news diet, just not tuning into any news and making sure we don't talk about Covid. There's bugger all we can do about it, so let's not talk about it. OTherwise, it'll be swimming, kayaking, archery, fishing, drinking, eating, sleeping, reading, watching some NFL and cricket, and relaxing. Roll on 2022 baby!

Merry Xmas to you all. My sister and kids decided against coming up to the unvaccinated winterless North. So it's just us.
But I'm obviously on Santa's naughty list as I have vertigo since last night. I'm sick as a dog, and can't drink. Fuck it!
You have my sympathy. Had inner ear infection 10, maybe 12 years ago. Just could not escape it.

Just do it. I’ve already advised there’d better be more exciting options tomorrow than Steinie fucken ‘classic’
My mother still doesn’t grasp the fact that all beer does in fact NOT taste the same.

I’ll probably have to just to be safe. Worse still there’ll probably be a ‘drinks upgrader’ there who brings Tui, puts it in the chilly bin then takes a ‘communal’ beer ( ie one of my Garage Projects or Panheads ) just when I thought 2021 couldn’t get any worse.

Merry Christmas, may it be safe, relaxing and full of merriment with your loved ones.
