Christmas news.

We had a lovely day with Eddie's sister's for Christmas. Her step daughter, and family were there too. Along with her daughters and family there was 16 for Christmas dinner. We thought it was going to be wet, but it was a nice day in the end..

On Boxing day we went and visited friends and ended up with another Christmas lunch, as 2 of their children were there. It was good to catch up with them after quite a few years. Their son  has a job in Tonga surveying the sea bed. It hasn't ever been done. On Wednesday he went to France to help sail his boss's new super yacht home to Tonga. Such a hard life!

Decorating is going along very well. In spite of vertigo on the first day. Eddie  had the day off yesterday and Saturday and is feeling ok again today. At least he was until he started masking up and now he is a bit wobbly again, but he is carrying on like a trooper. The last of the living area is going to be done today and then it is just the bathroom and the bedroom to do. Not much when you say it quick. We took down the range hood and I have given it a good cleaning. It's amazing where the goo gets too. I used 2 buckets of water.

I had taken photos of the decorating progress and somehow managed to delete them, so it will just be the finished product. I'll try and be more careful with the before and after of the bedroom.

Yesterday was a bit exciting as our grandson, who lives in Melbourne, came to see us. They are here for a week or so. He goes home on the 1st. His girlfriend, is with them.  It was nice to meet her too.
