The mini bearly passed its MOT last year and it's now got a noise from the front left that's getting worse, plus I've had to reset the engine warning light a couple of times recently. Time to get shot before I actually have to fix it.

New cage delivered today.

13 plate BMW 1 series convertible. It's certainly an improvement on fuel economy and comfort.

Had our FIFO-Shiftworker-BlendedFamily early Christmas Day today. Last time we are altogether till next year (and Jess wasn’t working) so enjoyed a lazy wake up (teens are keen to sleep in these days) presents with coffee. Then a few hours of kitchen work for some roast pork and crackling, roast potato, pumpkin, cob corn and beans, cold ham and prawns. Late lunch followed by homemade chocolate mousse and cookies.

Few gins and ciders and now turning in!

Working a full day. Everyone else is off. I should be watching crap TV or fighting the crowds in the shops.

I'm working all but 1 day through Christmas, joys of being perm and having a holiday allowance.

Anyways, I hate people, crowded shops, and crap TV..

All the kids but one disappeared to other parents today. Haydn, Jess’ young fella who is cricket mad (and plays in a local comp) was the only one with us so we took him into the Sydney Cricket Ground for a 20/20 Big Bash match. Came down to the last ball needed 5 and they got a 4, shirt by a couple of metres.

Went far a walk down the Thames, only a couple of hours but it was nice to have a bit of peace.

Afternoon was all the family round at my brother's house. Considering we had 6 kids from 3 families and our parents round, the level of carnage was minimal. Nice to see everyone though.

Might go out for another walk tomorrow if the weather allows.

Did a ton of grocery shopping and some Christmas shopping this afternoon.
You know the opening battle scene in Saving Private Ryan, when they're storming Omaha Beach?
...That was a lazy stroll through the park compared to Aldi today.

Lovely quiet boxing day so while the boy napped I fitted the last upgrades to my mountain bike before heading to the bike park on the 30th.

New brake discs, pads and fork

Having a quiet day, eating turkey sandwiches and trying to be happy about going to work later, should be a quiet night at least.

So what do you do, when you're stuck in an office with nothing to do??

Just another reason I hate Christmas shopping!

And yes, I’m starting to accept I’m a sh*t magnet 😂😂
Funny you should say that. When sh!t goes bad for me, I always say to myself, it could be worse, I could have eaten my own kid's sh!t off the floor!
