Christmas is now over for most of us. We had a a quiet meal at home with friends. We had planned going to picnic on the beach and it got so hot 31c,we decided to open all the doors at home and have an outdoor meal indoors. Our friends have a two month old baby so we were on baby time.
the work on the back yard cottage is progressing well and I am working on complying with council requirements, the latest has been duck bill ground anchors to  secure the cottage to the ground so it wont blow over in high winds.
I am off work until the January 7 and have children  and granddaughter  visiting in the new year so hope the weather is fine for them.
