There were 8 of us for dinner today. It was not the usual northern hemisphere event because we did not have a hot meal - just salads and cold meat, plus fruit salad to end with. I might add that the dessert came 5 hours after the main meal! Unlike the traditional dinner we also downed almost 2 kg of cooked prawns, each of which had to be shelled, beheaded and de-tailed before eating, which was a great chore.
As a nice touch, Emily supplied home-made Xmas crackers. These had much better jokes than the commercial variety, each tailored to the individual guests, and more useful presents. I, for example received a book of Soduku puzzles. And we avoided the silly headware usually contained in crackers!
The pictures show the table and the individual crackers Emily made.
