Sounds like you are on the mend Bushie,  What a blow missing out on Christmas lunch though! 

 

Big congratulations to you lurker! A new baby is always excellent news 

 

And the princess gave her stamp of approval to everything, Freddie - All must be very good then!

 

Our day was perfect! The sun shone, it wasnt too hot and a lovely cool breeze. OH had booked parking at the Opera House (I thought it was quite reasonable for the centre of Sydney on Boxing Day) and we caught a water taxi to Watson's Bay, motoring right past many of the yachts that were going in that yacht race 

Dinner was just amazing! I have pics, but forgot to bring the cable so I could transfer them to my lappy to post them - I might tease put them up later when I am back home! 

Oh, and we got to see the start of the race! No spinnakers, but my goodness they go at a fast clip! Sooooo many boats of all sizes, then about 1/3 of them came back about 20 minutes later  The spectator craft get right into the swing of things!

 

Thanks for the rain report freddie, I was a bit worried about the veggie patch - my climbing beans are just about to flower, and the corn is almost at picking stage. As usual, all the corn comes on all at once - and just when OH (who LOVES fresh corn) is due back to work 

 

Heading back home tomorrow afternoon, I hope all the fellow travellers are as well behaved as they were when I drove down!

Seasons Greetings everyone.

 

Congratulations Lurker, how exciting for your family.

 

We had lousy weather on Christmas Day, cloudy, raining most of the day and coolish. Didn't bother us much, but not too good for the holidaymakers.

Hi B3 We watched the start of the race what a lovely sight on the harbour lot's of $$$ in those sailing boats. We had some more rain this morning, so your vegies will be smiling when you arrive back home, take care on the road. Look forward to seeing your pictures.

Hi am3 we have, would you believe 24deg tomorrow although the humidity will probably be 99%.

Hi freddie..I hope no high humidity, had enough of that at the beginning of this month.  Monday, 86% humidity predicted here.. yuk.

Good morning everyone 🙂
Thanks for all your lovely posts about our family news.
How exciting for you b3 to be on the harbour and to see the see the start of the race. I just had a look at the yacht tracker and the main fleet is passing by here now so I might so and look for them soon, although it looks like they might be too far out to sea. We usually see a few of the tail enders.
One lot of visitors leave this morning and another lot arrive so it's going to be a bit like a motel here today. I love having all the "young 'uns" come to stay but it does create a lot of washing! And the house looks like a bomb site. It seems impossible to keep things tidy with 8 adults and 2 dogs in the house lol

Have a lovely day 🙂

Good morning everyone.

 

Lurker, your Christmas sounds wonderful and congratulations on the fantastic news - our Christmas is made all the better by watching the 2 grandies - although the 8yo announced that he knows mum and dad buy the gifts .  The little one is only 20 months and loved it all.

 

Freddie, Frank & I don't bother with gifts these days unless there's something we really want.  We tend to buy what we need as we need it.

 

B3, your day sounds perfect as well.  Would have been a great sight to see the yachts set off.

 

Hope you're feeling better today bushie.  At least you don't have to do any cooking .  I have had a very nice Christmas food wise but the party is now over - what am I going to do with all this chocolate people have given me??

 

Amber, you really love your swimming now and new bathers as well. 

 

I am going for a walk as soon as I gather enough energy then nothing planned for today.  If I wasn't walking, I would have a pj day.

 

Waves to everyone else.  I hope you all have a nice relaxing day after the rush and hype of Christmas.

And then I looked out my lounge room window and there was .............  I dunno, but one of them anyway 🙂

 

 

there is another one going by atm too.  

Good morning  🙂

 

B3 Sounds like a magical Boxing Day, the harbour does look spectacular at the start of the S 2 H, it really seems to come alive, I will really look forward to seeing your pics

 

Sandy Sounds like a perfect Xmas with your family, it's def now time for relaxing PJ's or not lol

 

Lurker Congratulations on your news, the timing couldn't have been more perfect, hope all goes well with the pregnancy 

 

Morning Freddie, Amber, Debra, Aps, DEB hope you all have a lovely day today after the Xmas hype

 

 

We have been offered a whole pile of 2nd hand pavers which need to be picked up later this morning. I want to completely re vamp the shade house, so the offer couldn't have come a better time. I still feel a tad "wonky" so I think Mr B will be doing the heavy lifting, I will be giving the instructions. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great pic Lurker, what a gorgeous water view you have 🙂  I am assuming you are down the south coast somewhere
