Seasons greetings to you all - our Xmas get together took a unexpected turn - I heard on the grapevine some of the nieces and nephews who are front line health workers were thinking of not coming because there are three oldies like me who are very vulnerable to Covid - my lungs are stuffed and allergic to the vaccine and so their concerns are understandable as there is a lot of Covid in the hospital - I wasn’t concerned as I thought we would be outside at Robie’s but 30 deg and thunderstorms precluded that -OK for the young ones as they are in and out of the pool - so we decided to have our geriatric celebration at my house - my neighbours were home alone so they joined us - the family delivered the food - it wasn’t ideal but if any of them had given me the dreaded virus it would have been awful for them .Really wanted to be there as it was my 11 year old adopted grandsons first Xmas - next year .They have headed off to Stewart Island he is going to enjoy that
It has been so damn hot - last night it was still 27deg at midnight - left the AC on shouldn’t make too much difference to the power bill
Mum used to make the most delicious rissoles out of cold lamb - with her home made peach relish and mashed potatoes - yum
