Christmas went well. I went to my brother and his family’s place for a big Christmas lunch -they had turkey, ham, multiple salads, roast potatoes and kumera, stuffing, and this desert of individual meringues with whipped cream and lemon or berry sauce.
I think my presets for my two nieces and nephew went down well. I did ask them what they wanted as they do change what they are into and normally I have no idea what’s their current interests. I ended up getting my nephew two small Batman Lego sets as the large ones were very expensive and that way at least he got one set with a Batman Lego figure in it and the other one had a Joker Lego figure in it – given how much Lego he already has I though getting two different figures was more important than getting more blocks.
I did end up working on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between Christmas and new year. It wasn’t too bad quiet for the most part esp with very few to no University students in the central city at the time…
