We had Xmas dinner in the country with my sister and brother inlaw and nieces and their long time boyfriends.
We took champagne and $50 worth of cakes from the Italian cake shop in Fitzroy. I think it is nice to take local produce when you go visiting people, family and friends. I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say you shouldn't turn up empty handed, but it is nice to take something to share.
We had cheese and biscuits and champagne on the veranda. Then we ate prawns. After that, we headed inside and ate Xmas dinner, your traditional variety, with wine. We had pavlova and plum pudding for dessert. Then coffee and Italian biscuits.
After we'd eaten, we took the 10 dogs down to the damn where they chased a ball in and out of the water. All the dogs get along well.
The corgis observed.
Bruno kept getting the ball away from the more athletic kelpies and cattle dogs. He kept getting cheered along, especially when he swam probably for the first time. Bulldogs should have life jackets on around water. I don't think he has ever been called 'a little nugget' more.
It was a lovely day. The fresh air of the country. The rolling paddocks, sweeping up and down.
