Christmas festivities
Saturday, I had lunch with Campbell on Puffing Billy, a steam train service. It was very good although Campbell was late arriving again. Monday I had Christmas lunch with my aunt and cousin in Hastings. It was enjoyable and the trip there and back uneventful. Boxing day I was supposed to be going to my cousin's place but got a bout of diarrhoea. So looks like I'm staying home instead.
When dead isn't dead enough, drown your stuffed toy
Oscar has developed the habit of drowning his toy mouse in his small drinking bowl. I didn't mind until this evening when he emptied the contents of the bowl on the floor. I've removed the bowl, but will put it back when the carpet had dried. A quick search on the internet and appears Oscar is not unique in this behaviour.
Having a pet is expensive
With vet visits, superior food and making sure Oscar is comfortable with a new evaporative cooler, he's proving to be rather expensive.

First Christmas lunch
Had my first Christmas lunch of the year at my friend Terry's place, good food, a little to drink and very good company.
Family lunch
Took my aunt to her favourite restaurant, unfortunately they had new serving staff so the experience wasn't up to their usual standard. I think she still enjoyed herself though. She was very tied when we got her back home.
