Boxing Day 2011 at Keri Keri

A lot of the same lucky folks who indulged in Larry and Karon's Christmas feast headed over to Kim and Sally's place for a brunch on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas). After yet another fabulous meal with yet more dear company our stomachs and hearts were overflowing. Trude and i rode The Beast back to Auckland to get ready for a week of camping at the Tahora Music Festival which starts tomorrow.

Christmas 2011 at Waimati North

Trude and i rode The Beast up to our good friends Larry and Karon's place in Waimati North, about three hours north of Auckland. They hosted a fabulous meal that lasted all afternoon in the company of fine friends. The dishes that Karon prepared were scrumptiously divine. Later in the day, Larry played bass and i guitar and we had a wee jam. We finished off the evening trying to stay awake watching Die Hard.  Life is good.

Dinner with Alec and Jenny

Trude and i had a lovely dinner with our good friends Alec and Jenny. It was the first chance we've had to catch up since i got back from the USA. Alec's fish curry was awesome and i didn't quite succeed at my plan of not over eating.
