The last day getting ready, tomorrow (crimble day) is a rest day to goof off, and then boxing day is early bubble and squeek (it’s an English boxing day tradition of culinary mastery) then off to sea.

 

Pete spent the day at the Victoria Hospital undergoing all sorts of tests – in the end they decided I was grumpy and tall. Oh and sinusitis, or was it appendicitis (they just put it is on the end of words to bump up the invoice). So probably gumpyitus. The staff were truly wonderful (nurses and doctors, you really are the best) and I’m now armed with all sorts of sweeties for the trip.

 

We’re just about to sit down to crimble dinner (on crimble eve), all 35 of us, then tomorrow is a lazy day (well it will be for me – no swimming on Bondi beach this year).

 

Happy holidays to our followers.
