Christmas Eve

Up early with last minute preparations for heading away for 3 weeks, final packing and getting house sorted.

Then on the plane and up to Auckland. All very smooth. Funny, weeks of frantic work and then ... nothing. Nothing to do, it felt so weird.

But then it was time for the family Christmas eve dinner. Great food, wine and company. A shame my cold has returned so I can hardly taste how good it all is!
