Today is Wednesday, the day after the day after Christmas. Christmas day was spent with the sister/brother's family in the morning, then my (Andrew) parents for lunch. My grandmother (Dad's mother) came around in the afternoon with an Aunty and cousin. It was good to see her - it's been a couple of years, and it could well be the last time I'll see her. Then up to Sonia's parents in the evening for a BBQ. The extended family was there, totalling about 35 people. Cricket on the lawn, golf balls, and general mayhem.
Yesterday we managed to sleep in until about 11:00am, much to the chagrin of the nephew and nieces, who were most put-out. We blame the jet-lag. Mission Bay in the afternoon to let the kids swim (along with half of Auckland), and fish 'n chips for dinner sitting on the grass. Interesting seeing the multi-cultural nature of Auckland - the Pacific Island family that we walked past, who were eating plates of rice with corned beef hash. The smell is something you have to work to get used to!
Today off to Cornwall Park, again so the kids can play. Better outside than inside. All this after managing to crawl out of bed at a relatively respectable 8:30am - still jet-lagged, I guess!
Tonight we're out for dinner celebrating the brother-in-law's windfall.
