Merry Christmas
-
Standard Xmas day for me with the wife’s whanau, though the first one with my mum no longer alive - even though we didn’t see her in person every year, it’ll be odd to not at least have gifts from her for the kids to open and no video call to make at 8am.
Have a great Christmas everyone, thanks for all the bullshit throughout the year, this place is nothing if not therapeutic!
Here’s to 2023 and whatever it throws at us!

My family are in Kernow for Xmas, so it's just me, the dog, and the cat. Pretty weird. But have a good one, everyone
Tell them to pop into see @Victor-Meldrew He always opens a bottle of something decent over Christmas.
Well, according to him anyway.
If I was there I'd certainly look him up, or we could meet in the Blue Anchor for Christmas Spingo Beer!
Just down the road (A30). We're in Kent this Christmas, sadly
I'm in NZ, but Cornish wife and kids are at her parents place in coverack. Apparently they're going to do the Xmas swim!

Ah, that clears up the confusion.
As an aside, our little village hall local no longer as a licence (due to an admin fuck-up by Cornwall Council) and will be shut until just before New Year. In true Cornish style, a solution involving police approval, hiring of said bar facilities by a series of private citizens and no money changing hands is being looked at for Christmas Eve & Christmas morning.

They’re welcome to it. I did the Exmouth one a year or two ago and cheated with a wetsuit. It was still ball-achingly cold.

Meri Kirihimete ki a koutou katoa
I'l be swimming during the day (the good weather has finally arrived in Sydney) then Xmas dinner at mates place - which has turned into a potluck by accident as I decided to bring a ham as that's what reminds me most of Xmas back home. Then everyone else decided to bring stuff they liked.
Hope everyone has an awesome day.

British aircraft carrier to sail north for secret mission

Merry Christmas. Quiet one as I save leave and money for France. The family is all in Qld so it's us, the cats and dogs and finally some warmer weather. Also an opportunity to make a 2 x 7m wire trellis for some wisterias we apparently needed to plant...
Hope you all enjoy, recharge and have a safe break!
