Friday...3 January 2014

Love the lazy post Christmas days of summer. The world feels like it is marching on the spot, just waiting for the command to move forward into the working part of the new year. Around us the harvest is done and farmers are tidying their farms so that they too can have a bit of down time before the next cycle starts.

We sleep late, watch the cricket and tennis on television and stay up late to watch the Hopman Cup (more tennis) although it would be nice to see the Aussies just a little closer to the top of that event!

Housework is kept to a minimum and meal service is relaxed and light. A very pleasant hiatus in what is otherwise a busy life as we go about our travels. We have had much discussion on possible places to visit this year but as yet no serious decisions have been made.
