Wow, Christmas has come and is almost gone again. Unreal. With work being what it is, you know it's coming, but can't really get into the spirit of it until "die last nipper". Sad really.
Anyway, we started the day at Church and Ds Peet gave a lovely sermon as always. Everything he said resonated with me, and it made the day all the more special.
We then lit the fire at our place and started cooking. Yes, too much food, but every single dish was delicious. Dankie almal! The souvla worked like a charm again, and is fast becoming my favourite way to roast meat. I've not found anything better yet, and that is saying a lot.
After letting the food settle we went down to the beach for a wander. A bit windy, but still nice. A lot of kite surfers around as The Doctor was pumping, as we knew it would be. Even saw a small Stingray in the shallows.
Still, it was a busy day and I am now "pap-tyres". We aim to chill and enjoy the rest of the break and Karla agreed that we don't need to go to any shops tomorrow....yeah, right! Have vouchers, Must spend....

Later the evening Eugene built his solar-powered chopper, but he'll have to wait until tomorrow to test it.
Dankie Oom Steven en Tannie Tasha. |
