Merry Christmas Kiwi Friends!





I didn't blog last night. I suppose it was because I was on a sleepover at work, but partly it was because I was still in a state of shock at Spook burning my Sunday Herald. In fairness to him, there was no other paper to burn, and it was very nice to have someone else light the fire. But my Sunday Herald! It was Wednesday, but I have a very full life (as Granny always says) and it took me 3 weeks to read the Opinion page on the last Sunday Herald that I managed to buy. He said I shouldn't have left it lying around if it was so precious, and I said that I hadn't needed to worry about predators over the last 11 weeks. I imagine that oil rig workers who go away for 2 weeks every month, spend one week out of their 2 week break, re-establishing themselves in their home. I am only able to blog now as when I got home, Spook discovered that the Opinion page had not made it in to the fire. So we are harmonious again and spent a very pleasant evening preparing ahead for dinner tomorrow. Spook has also got the house in much better order. He and Meg worked well together. No thanks to Finn who didn't get off the school bus yesterday after school broke up and only just made it up through the field this afternoon before night fall, still wearing his school uniform and wanting to get in on some christmas eve action.

Meg went snowboarding. Whilst it was very very cold at our level, it seemed not so bad up there. Good conditions and no q's. Everyone must have been to busy getting ready for christmas.
