literally another aussie in london

christmas in the cold

While I still feel ripped off that it doesn’t seem to snow for Christmas in the UK, and yet the weather is still shit, my christmas was good.

It started off with me having to pack a rental van full of stuff and drive across London in peak hour on Christmas Eve, this was amazingly easy, and other than a sore shoulder and having to put a bed together when I reached my destination it all worked well. And then I drank some whisky, that was really good.

Next day we made our way to a new destination with the rest of the family.

My UK family celebrates Christmas, but includes Pagans, Agnostics, Muslims, Christians, Catholics and me.

The perfect family to celebrate a corporate holiday.

It was like last year, there was present opening, drinking, such terrible fucking TV, shitloads of food and good times.

I stayed up to watch the cricket, as usual. This year a few people did, but the Australian batting put us to sleep, it was either that or the shitload of whisky I drank.

Coolest present was an original Robocop Polish film poster as seen below.

Weirdest present had to be my mushroom making kit that my lovely mother in law gave me.

I do like Mushrooms.

I have taken no picture of the mushroom making kit.

If you celebrate Christmas I hope you had a great time, or I hope you had a fucking terrible time but one that you can dine over when it comes to christmas stories for years to come.

To everyone else I hope you had a good time, regardless of Christmas.

Unless I don’t like you. Then I hope you had a rotten time.
