I keep trying to convince James and Olivia that they need to be good or no presents from Santa next Sunday. They listen carefully, are good for about 5 minutes and then....back to normal. Not sure they believe anymore!
On Friday I had the Christmas Party for the group I run. The day started at 7:30am with a golf match that included drinking Schnapps on every hole. At 12:30 the main event kicked off with 240 people at a beach party. As the 'leader' I had to set a good example, which seemed to involve drinking as much as the 21 year olds.......the night ended at 10:30pm in Manly. I think that may be the last time I drink for 15 hours....this year at least.
To get over the Xmas party hangover and get the kids out the house we did a lovely walk yesterday with the Underhills - starting at Taronga Zoo, we walked back to Balmoral. A pleasant few hours in the sunshine finished off with lunch and a swim at the beach.
An early dinner at Bench with the Peaches and Cutlers and then Emma & I headed off to a grown up Christmas Party. No kids, good chat, lots of nibbles - it was a really nice evening.
Today (Sunday) was fairly relaxing. Emma sailed in the Manly Yacht Club Christmas Race (came 3rd I think), I've done most of my Christmas shopping and we went to get Jame's new scooter custom built - he got to choose all the components and colours - now it gets built and IF he is good he gets it next week.
Janet is with us just now and is loving spending time with Jack. He is SOOOOOO close to walking. He will walk all day holding on to one finger of an adult. He also loves standing in the middle of the room and teasing us - he keeps looking like he is about to take a step (or break into a run), but he just sways then sits back down. I do reckon he will be walking by Christmas Day.
Our next post may well be Christmas Day - so to all of you, have a very merry Christmas.
Ken
