Christmas Day! On Christmas morning, Jon and D went to the beach for a surf while L, Jac and I went for a walk up Tomaree Headland in Tomaree National Park. The walk up the hill probably took us 25-30 mins, and when we reached the lookout, we were treated a good view of Port […]
We had our team Christmas do on Tuesday last week. Yes, a work Christmas function, more than a month before Christmas! We wanted to have it in early to mid December, but people will be on leave then, and this was the only time the team could all be together. For something different, we went […]
I’ve uploaded 293 photos to a Flickr set called Xmas in Dunsborough, 2006. Friends and family can see lots of people photos there. Everyone else can see food, animal and landscape shots. These next few posts about Christmas at Dunsborough will feature selected shots from that set. We left for Dunsborough early on Christmas morning, […]
Sweets After the main course, Mum thought it would be good to go for a walk before dessert, and so there was a mass exodus as almost everyone took off down the street. I stayed behind to hang out with Grandma (I’d already exercised for 45 minutes in the morning, so I figured it was […]
Main course While the meat was resting before carving, Juji got busy making gravy with the pan juices. A had made her special stuffing, which was oven-baked in its own dish, not in the turkey. We were all hanging out for the carving! My brother had bought an enormous ham from the butcher, which […]
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. It’s taken me ages to sort through/process/upload all the photos. Just as well I’m still on holiday, eh? Tomorrow I plan to go shopping, but on Sunday I’ll be getting reacquainted with my thesis. Ugh. But let’s forget about that for the next half dozen or […]
Well, there’s no goose… I was just singing that old song, Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat Please put a penny in the old man’s hat… Last week, I heard an Aussie version of Jingle Bells on the radio which I thought was really cool. It went something like, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, […]
Christmas Day was fun and delicious. As I said in an earlier post, it promised to be a real meatfest. Although I have definite carnivorous tendencies, I would have been just as happy with two kinds of meat. Still, I appreciated all the meat on offer. Jac carved the meat. Here’s the sliced turkey thigh […]
We will be spending Christmas day with Jac’s family. Every year, each couple/person is assigned stuff to bring for the meal/day. We’re bringing the Christmas ham, cheeses and Christmas crackers. Instead of getting a great big chunk of ham on the bone we’ve got two small hams – one’s smoked and the other is baked. [&hel…
