Xmas Day, Thank God its over.

40 odd degrees, air/con stuffed, bumper to bumper all along the freeway between Os Park and Rockingham, 4 nose-tail prangs, idiots taking stupid risks just to gain a car length.

Once at the designated meeting place my and my partners moms start rattling swords, Its now 43 degrees and the bro in law forgot the ice, try to pick a quite corner and sip warm beer, 8 toddlers want me to play with them and their new toys, after a feed of ham prawns and turkey both mothers each place a pav on the table, under the watchful eyes of both women I try a piece of both pavs and tactfully declare a draw, [even thats not good enough] and the potential for WW3 now exists.

By now the teenagers have their noses glued to their mobiles, and any attempt to talk to them is met with that pizz-off-im bizzy look, meanwhile a couple of the toddlers have decided to empty my pack of fags into the paddling pool.

To top it all off Im given the latest additon to the outlaw mob to cuddle for the afternoon photo shoot, as soon as I force my smile the little bugga brings up some unwanted trifle and everyone cracks up except me.

7 pm home time YAHOO, sit in the over heating car while the missus insists on kissing and hugging every person there, by 8.30 were on our way. Get asked--did you enjoy yourself ?......"yes dear", Did you enjoy the food ?....."yes dear", Such and such has put on a lot of weight....."yes dear", The baby was cute...."yes dear", Why was your mom trying to pick a fight with mine...."yes dear"..... ..... ..... ....

Only 364 sleeps till it all happens again......LOL [not].


Hope everyone enjoyed their day......Lionel.
