[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 397136, member: 1991"] G'day people. It's Boxing Day here, traditionally the day when we package up leftover Christmas feasts and take the food to the poor. Although these days we tend to just share leftovers with friends. In Sydney it's also the start to the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. I was on roster for church today - leading the service. And I had no voice! I managed to squeak my way through and it was OK, there was hardly anybody there anyway. My friend was speaker for the day and although we didn't really collaborate, it all dovetailed together. Afterwards we had a light lunch together, then went to have coffee in the next village. Our kids were supposed to join us but chose not to. Fine - I had my quiet coffee with friends. difficult child 1 & daughter in law had gone home early this morning (she is not well - I posted separately) but after she had a sleep, she felt better so they came back. We went to the beach, had a lovely swim even though it was late in the afternoon. And now I'm steaming some frozen dim sims for dinner - easy finger food for people without much appetite. Today started cloudy, then the sun came out and it was hot and humid. Now the storm has rolled in, it's been quite noisy. Still is - but not much moisture is reaching the ground. However, the wind has cooled things off and it is very pleasant. For us - the people on the yacht race are struggling with the weather, however. Enjoy your Boxing Day, however you celebrate it.
