After getting to bed at about 1am we woke up about 8am. Randomly was awoken several times through the night, at about 3am by the bin men emptying bins outside, very random time to do it, a mozzie buzzing around the room, waking up hot and then the dog trying to get in the room at about 7am!
We had some brekkie and then opened some presents, not everything yet as we'll save some for when Chris and Hannah are here tomorrow. We then had a lovely roast chicken lunch, preceded by the seafood I bought at the fish market yesterday. We had mince pies and ice cream to finish. In the afternoon we went over to Tim and Anitas house (Kates cousin) where Fiona (another Kate cousin) is staying while they are in Europe for Christmas. Was lovely to meet more of the Colhoun clan.
We came home having dropped Bill off to work and had two excellent Skype calls, firstly to hazel and Peter and then mum and dad. We exchanged presents across the internet on the video call. We both got some great stuff.
Its raining heavily here in Sydney now.
We watched a bit of TV and it's off to bed. It's tough having Christmas apart form family but I know we'll regularly have Christmases in the UK, I think you need that cold and dark nights to make it really Christmasy, but the first Christmas down under has been very nice indeed.
