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.Go for Pepper steak at BP in bulls. I always have two…..as for beer, well I can’t help you there

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.

Ahhh miss good old NZ Christmases. However will probably start the day early with a quick dip in the Indian Ocean followed by breakfast, Champagne and gift giving ( at a reasonable time for the teenage Nevorians) and then as it is going to be 43 degrees and Covid has finally arrived here finding a shady spot in the garden with close access to cool refreshments and loud music for the neighbours. Enjoy everyone and stay safe

All this talk about beaches and Christmas has resulted in me convincing Mr Meldrew we should go for a walk on the beach at Lansallos Cove on Boxing Day.
Happy Christmas Eve from wet and wintry Cornwall.

Decamping to my better half’s family for the festivities

And the tourists at Christmas are generally nice people, unlike some of the staycationers we've had during the pandemic.

Merry Xmas all!
We've got lamb chops & smoked bacon for brunch, then foie gras and ham with a Mont d'or lined up for lunch tomorrow. We have 6 bottles of Champagne, a Sauternes, and Two Barolos, plus a 16 year old Lagavulin.
Should be enough for four of us
This place has been a good place to rant this year, and the discussion here has been much appreciated.
