It's been a cool Christmas day, though of course it would be better if we could see you and Rose. In cool, slightly watery winter light, we had a cross-water "
12 days of Christmas" with our village singing the evens, and Lobster Bay across the water singing the odds - and the chorus for all. It was bizarre and silly and delightful, with the delay as the sound travelled muted across the water. Later on we had an all in Christmas late lunch at the Schatz's house (including a Christmas themed, inter-family combination of
Charades and
30 Seconds called
In The Bowl which was great fun ... except that we came last, followed by a Christmas Trivia competition, which was also great fun ... except that we came last again. We've passed a family edict that we are going to invent a summer Christmas in South Africa version and get more organised as a team. Giggling.
