As we were setting off yesterday for Christmas dinner at Jane Stening's home I was asked to put on a Santa hat. Jane is one of Dot's friends and her son William who had flown home from Vancouver, made up our quartet. The meal and the company were nice and made up for not having either Emily or Rebecca and their families chez nous. In fact, I think we were there for about 4 hours.
Here's me wearing my hat along with William. I don't really look like Santa do I? Nor one of his many subordinate clauses! So I'll call myself an insubordinate Klaus, especially wearing that gear which was suitable for a hot (29C) and steamy day.

Although we can dress down without too much comment, the food we eat and the other paraphernalia surrounding Xmas are much more unmoveable. For example we ate lots of turkey and stuffing, ham, roast veges and all those things. We also pulled crackers dispensing party hats (not much use given my head-gear), bad jokes and ... on this occasion ... magic tricks. One I got enabled me to take a single piece of rope, splice it in two, and then put it back together again in the blink of an eye! It wass very effective. The only dispensation to the heat of a southern Christmas was the desert. Dot slaved several hours to construct this elegant Pavlova, which disappeared rapidly once placed on the table.
