Sunday

An amazingly warm day at the beach, hard to believe town has fog so bad the planes are not flying.  More boxes and sorting again today.

We have just had a Christmas dinner with Olaf and his girlfriend Danna.  I made roast chicken. It was so lovely having sage, parsley and thyme in the garden again for the stuffing.  Followed with trifle, which I had probably not made since I left Nelson some twelve years ago.  Used frozen raspberries and even made a proper egg custard gently flavoured with almond.

Between courses we opened gifts.  The kids are off in the morning, Danna to work and Olaf to work on the MR2 which is currently stored at Danna's house.  They will have Xmas Day lunch with her family before they head off to their respective Tuesday jobs.

Perhaps the sewing machine will get a run tomorrow when I get in from work.
