Merry Christmas all from a rainy but humid and warm Auckland, NZ, it’s 10.37 a.m.. I will be having a mid-afternoon lunch with my father and his partner, the menu, I am told, includes: ham, watermelon & feta salad, green salad and new potatoes, followed by a meringue/cream/fresh fruit thingy and Christmas pudding… until then I’m watching Stranglers Wood, an episode of Midsomer Murders.… not a typical Christmas Day for me, my daughter and her husband are presently living in Melbourne and my mother, who would normally come up for Christmas, is unable to be here this year, it doesn’t quite feel the same.
* I do believe it’s looking somewhat brighter outside, perhaps the sun will still appear today after all……
