Today is Helen's birthday. We are going into Brisbane to spend the night and sample the restaurants. It is Boxing day so I do not know quite what to expect. Mendy and Kevin are going to drive us into the city. We plan to take a ferry around the river to see the city from the water.
We already made merry Christmas face time calls to Kelly and Bobby. It is Christmas day in the USA.
Yesterday, we had a feast. Two families were from South Africa and we sampled some SA food. But mainly we had shrimp, salmon and calamari. As it turned out, our host was an expert bow hunter. He showed several pictures of him and his "kill," e.g. large African animals, displayed in a national bow hunter magazine. It was impressive.
It was a bit warm so it was not long before a water fight started. Then the water balloons came out and the water war rapidly escalated, just like America. It started with the kids throwing water balloons at the adults then it became a gender war. No one escaped. It felt just like home.
Last night Kevin's friends dropped over and we made an evening of toasting. It was a late night.
Yes, I agree the picture shows I need to get back to exercising again.
