[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 396959, member: 1991"] G'day people. Well, I haven't made any muffins yet. I might make some this evening at mother in law's while we wait for easy child & SIL1 to arrive. I'm all set to work on the ham glaze, I'll start that tonight. We found a couple of gifts e hadn't wrapped, including difficult child 1's gift which we'd ordered from the UK and which miraculously arrived today, despite all the weather problems they've been having. I dropped in on my BFF and exchanged gifts this morning, then got a few more errands done. I noticed in the village that we have a lot of tourists in town, here for an early holiday. There's a holiday feel to the place, even when it's at times a bit overcast. But the sun is never far away at the moment. And at last the sea is warming up! It's most unusual for the water to still be so cool, so close to Christmas. difficult child 3 did a lovely thing - we'd asked him to go sweep grandma's paths, but he was away for a very long time. When he came back he told us he'd stayed to play a board game on the computer, and grandma joined in. And beat him! It would have made her very happy, she was feeling a bit lonely earlier today, she dropped in on us "for just a few minutes" and stayed for a light lunch. There's a tropical cyclone forecast to hit the northern tip of Australia tonight. The floods are still a problem and the highways right up north are closed, which is upsetting a lot of tourists. The expected rainfall - 600 mm! That's 24 inches of rain overnight, folks! It's late afternoon here Christmas Eve and I can hear the fire engine siren. It is carrying Santa on the village rounds.
