OT: a warm xmas day

[Guest guest]

Merry xmas everyone

and for those that dont celebrate christmas, happy

summer solstice (which has just passed)

 

my husband is from the states and has been here in

Australia for 6 yrs now.. and he often talks about how

hard it is to adjust in his heart that we have hot

summers .. grin... we watched on tv lst night the

white out across certain parts of the states.. and for

us aussies, tis a little hard to have it sink in..

when today it will be 33 plus celcius.. shorts and

tshirt weather..

 

so I thought I would share our aussie xmas day with

you:)

 

arise at 5 am (dragged out of bed by teenager) to open

gifts..

ring friends and family (yep even the ones that dont

have children and wish them a merry xmas) lol I love

dragging people out of bed:)

6 am fill the bird feeders so the wild parrots,

(cockatos, galahs, princess parrots can come to feed,

they complain if I am late... chuckle)

 

head for walk along the beach...

 

arive back for breakfast..

 

today we are celebrating the spirit of xmas with our

neighbours (as we moved to queensland 6 months ago)

 

dress the table out on the back verandah, putting

plenty of mossie coils out there..

 

drag out the small plastic pool.. so we can joke about

having a pool party:)

 

prepare the food but know it has to be kept inside

today for the flies are a real nuisance and it will go

off fairly quickly in the heat..

 

shut all windows early and have fans on to keep house

cool, (I may put the airconditioner on in the

afternoon)

 

put xmas music on and rest until our friends show up

to enjoy our feast with..

 

........

 

so we cant throw snow balls.... but I will put a

shrimp on the bbq (barbeque) for you today..

 

merry xmas everyone (and yes I know for those in the

states its not until tomorrow) grin..

 

journey well

Rebekah
