| Bear helping me with the turkey! Bearfoot cooking!!!!!! |
Matt joined us up here on Christmas Eve and we had a very Happy Christmas day, Matt spear fishing, caught a crab, and me catching a kahawai with my new rod. The fish had to go back for luck, we did have plenty of food, and the crab was 'hibernated' in the fridge and liberated (soul only I suspect) the next day. Played bananagram - a great game and enjoyed turkey and trimmings with cake and mince pies, just like home. Matt left for a week to go diving whilst we had a lazy time giving our backs a good rest but swimming every day. Weather not fantastic, showers and cloud but warm. Walked up Flagstaff Hill at midnight to see the New years fireworks over the bay. Started 2011 with sunshine and a swim, a really perfect day with a slight breeze to keep it cool. Matt due back to spend the rest of the week with us before he heads off to Brisbane for a month of training. Confirmation of Malcolm and Lovat's visit and a meeting with Phil and Helen - the next 8 weeks will go very quickly. Sitting on the deck in the sunshine watching a tui calling to it's mate and saw a lovely kingfisher on our way up from the beach. Have a resident weka in the garden, think we heard a kiwi in the night and have a family of californian quail coming for breakfast most days. Had local oysters for our last lunch in 2010. Vincent absorbed in his biochemistry and physiology, my ukelele playing improving and finding time hard to come by to keep up the blog - how did we ever work?
