    Xmas Eve/Xmas Day

    y'know last night we did all our Christmas celebrations with those that mattered instead of today , where our immediate family had a light breakfast in Surfers Paradise.

    I got my youngest son to purchase a lovely bottle of Stanten and Killeens aged port from Rutherglen to finish up with last night.

    We ate and drank so much that the port got forgotten. Also a beautiful cheese platter with honeycomb and strawberry puree didn't get touched.

    How sad...........




    How did the rest of you go? any anecdotes?

    Xmas Eve/Xmas Day

    Merry Christmas mate...

    I took in some Christmas Pudding with custard for my Crews Crib break last night.

    Mrs Tombie hosted a shift breakfast for her Crew.

    We then finished up this morning and have been asleep most of today...

    The joys of Shift 🤪

    Our Son and Daughter-in-Law will arrive around 19:30 for dinner.

    Marry Christmas,

    Darwin to Brisbane on the silver budgie , hire car and drive to Tamworth to see our youngest daughter and her partner.
    spent last night with a bottle of red sitting on the front wall watching a lightening show almost as good as we get at home in Darwin.

    Spent a great day relaxing, enjoying a feast and a few cold ones.

    very lucky to live in this great country.

    Cheers Ean

    Good to catch up again Ean, thanks for taking the time.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
