Friday Is Rest Day

Wednesday and Thursday were two very busy and tiring days after a late finish to Christmas Day. Christmas Night with Arj's family was good fun. It was off to a late start (if you have little kids) and finished about midnight. This is a bit too late for them!

There was gift giving, a few carols (which is traditional with Arj's family) and then a wonderful meal of various curries, plenty of rotis to go with it all and sweets to finish up with. I ate too much and suffered into the early morning. Charli though tired was only too keen to try out Dad's keyboard as you can see here. Opening presents was good fun too.


Boxing Day for us was the traditional day at former neighbours Barry and Rainy's down at Drouin. Another great day with plenty to drink and too much to eat but with friends around it was good fun. We arrived back home about midnight after another long day out.

Then on Thursday I was into the MCG to watch Australia Vs India Day 2 of the cricket Test Match. John Logan with whom I had enjoyed the day before with caught up with me and we found the Frank Grey Smith Bar in the MCG Members a very pleasant spot indeed. What was going to be a quiet drink developed into a bit of a session I am afraid! I arrived back at Berwick about 6:30 ready to go out again for meal with Pat and Graeme at their home. Another great night followed with a very pleasant meal. However it was midnight before we were in bed for some well earned sleep.

Therefore Friday for me was a day in front of the TV watching the cricket!
