We had a relatively quiet Christmas Eve. Miranda, John and girls came over for a Swiss fondue (steamed veggies and baget) and games. Peter made his first batch of carmel squares and they were delectable. Christmas Day we went for another skate followed by a delicious Greek-inspired Christmas dinner at M & J’s with a Swiss family and two Chinese PhD students from Beijing.
Mist, Tabs and Nemi are in Nelson with John visiting Auntie T’s family and skiing. Peter and I and Pip are baching it until Wednesday as are Miranda and Artemis.
Miranda just picked up Pip. She is taking Pip and Artemis to “The Frog Prince” movie. Pip was so excited and is at the theatre as I write this.
A little unwell the past week. Upper abdominal pain and fever. Spent far too many hours in emergency to find out (to my relief) I am perfectly healthy. The fever must have been an intestinal virus and the pain most likely a ripped muscle from moving furniture all month. All the chocolate can’t be helping either!
Happy tomorrow is Monday-a fresh start to the next phase of the holidays. I will get back to my work outs and planning how to refresh my personal mandala. I think a meditation class and acting class or skating lessons are in order and perhaps Wednesdays at Big White for “ladies day” skiing. I hate that title, it sounds almost insulting. So from now on I will rename it Women’s Wild Wednesdays<\/i> at Big White.
Peter purchased a tripod on boxing day for my camera. I am so excited to start tramping through the wilderness to photograph wild life and use my photos for my paintings.
Reading Jack London’s biography–very inspiring. I share his sense of adventure, love of writing and story and his physicality–craving physical adventure challenges not just mental ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
