Christmas Day in Newell Beach! It's a beautiful and very hot day and Alicea and I wake around 7am and open our presents to each other. I have a quick brekky of fruit and yoghurt and join the others for a quick dip in the pool.
Between the various dips in the pool Alicea and I had a Skype with Nick, Nat and Mary.
We then had our Secret Santa (I got a Lords cricket ball and Alicea got a selection of royal masks) and then spent more time in the pool.
Around 2.30pm we started Christmas Lunch. Alicea did her potatoes, Anna and Mark did the salads while I cooked the fish on the barbie. The dinner was really good and everyone enjoyed it. Rob, Caroline and Steve cleared up and the we all ate chocolates and watched tv while the pudding cooked.
After dinner, I Skyped Mum and Dad before they went to Julie's for the day. It was a quick chat as we were outside and the wind made it difficult to hear. We then called them back a little later at Julie's but the picture was very blurred and they couldn't see or hear us very well. I'm not sure why, maybe it was their mobile internet connection.
After that, we retired to bed for the night.
