Jill and Gerard's Seachange

Christmas Day..... Exhausting!!!

This is moi!! Just testing out what we will wear on Boxing day here to celebrate Christmas, seeing we had "purple" decorations on the tree, I decided we would go with the purple shades on the table. Yep I know I am nuts!!!! Look what you missed out on Annette and Paul!!!!!! (giggle)...
I did not get to bed til after 2a.m. cause I was making a mud cake to take down to Matt's for tea and forgot about it cause I fell asleep on the chair with the lap top in my lap!!!

Got up at 6.30a.m. and left Paynesville about 8.45a.m. called into the servo to wish Louise a Merry Christmas and she looked terrible, real hung over!!!

Set off to Melbourne then and took the back road, and another one Gerard had been told about and ended up in Traralgon, it probably was no quicker, but the change in scenery was good and it was quiet.

Decided to call into Lesley's to wish her a Merry Christmas, she had a good surprise!!! Also good to see her Mum and Dad again as it has been a while. Then onto Margaret and Graeme's for lunch joining Chris and Jim there. Then onto Kate at Matt's just over Stud Road at least we did not have to travel too far between meals!!! It was lovely to be with her again and we were made most welcome. Rang Mum to wish her Merry Christmas as she was at Rye at my sister Chris's with the family.

As usual Carmel put on a huge spread, crayfish, prawns and heaps of cold meats and more. We were all so full could hardly move. The boys ended up playing pool which was good as there were four of them so they paired up. Gerard was with Nathan and the challenge was on to beat Matt and his Dad.. Mat does not like to lose, so the passion to win was even stronger..

We left them about 11p.m., had to turn around and go back cause we left the camera behind! Kate had to get up for work about 2am as she had to have the whole deli case filled before the shop opened at 6a.m. Now that she is deli manager she has all the responsibilities....

We had a great time with them and then we went to Keysborough to meet Machele and Tamyka where they could leave their car closer to the station when coming home.

I drove first for some time,then Machele and then Gerard. I was so worried we would hit a kangaroo on the country road, but did not see any, fell asleep a couple of times. We did see a few bunnies but managed not to hit any until the last part of the trip, this little bunny darted here and there on the road and we hit it, sooo sad. But at least we did not run off the road and have an accident and get hurt thank goodness. Gerard was driving at the time.

Finally got home and into bed at 3.30am so exhausted.
