Christmas lunch was a rerun with the leftover prawns and salad, sitting outside on a very pleasant day with a sparkling malbec. Dinner was hmmm, how shall I put it, a bit fraught with disaster. The barbecue ran out of gas just as we put the fish in to cook, the potatoes wouldn't brown, nothing seemed to work - it was a late meal as are all Christmas dinners. The fish was delicious. The potatoes never really came out the way I had hoped but everyone said that it was all good. Pavlova with fresh raspberries and nectarines followed.
I'm still destashing and getting rid of dross but things are starting to improve - from my perspective. The house is still overly cluttered and I am still stressing every time I take a trip to give away clothes. The Scrooge in me wants to sell everything and make a buck but that wold involve opening a shop! Seriously won't happen if I do things that way and I have so much crap that I need to make this happen yesterday. This will be the continuing story into 2017.
I've yet to make the decision on whether I go back into the workforce on whatever level but there's still plenty of time for that yet!
