Hello and Merry Christmas from Perth !! We write this at 7pm on Christmas Eve and whilst eating Milo and ice cream. Yippee, he's on his way guys and girls !! So exciting !!
Well, it's been a great short week for both of us this week !! We had our christmas dinner/tea on Tuesday night, as Emma was going away to her mam's for christmas. We bought everything in and I (Claire) started off the cooking until Ben was able to assist (I say
assist but I left him to it !!). Well I say I started off cooking, Emma did most of it cos I didn't
know what to do with the veg !! Thanks Emma .... It was a great dinner ... well done Ben !! His Yorkshires were delicious, as always .... taught by the good old boy Geoffrey Pops ! I would have had to ring my pops if Emma wasn't in, cos I didn't have a clue with the pumpkin !! We had a great night, exchanging our christmas gifts and even had some christmas crackers or bon bons (as Emma calls them). We were all at work the next day so we didn't enjoy too many festivities. Wednesday we all finished work until next year..... woo woo !
Emma left for the airport at 9pm on the Wendnesday ready for her flight home. Now it's just me, Ben and Digger ! Diggers even has his own christmas stocking to put out ready for
Santa coming. We're all very excited.
Today we took Emma's car (thanks again!) to Cottesloe Beach near Fremantle. GMTV were
filming there. We got there just after 2.30pm and the beach was filled with Poms all over the place, all wearing Christmassy things. It was awesome. We managed to squeeze into a place on the beach and got our sign all ready. The presenter guy said that they were starting off filming in the water and the best chance to be
seen would be there. We'd already put on our Boardies, so we set off to the water! Our first proper dip since we've been in Perth, it was bloody freezing ! We managed to find a good place down by the rocks and stood ...... and waited ......... and waited !! For ages, it was quite cold standing there after a while. The presenter kept giving us all updates, then it was the 5 minute countdown ! Then everybody just went crazy, massive signs popping up everywhere .... right in front of us .... great !! Move out of the way Dawn and Peter from Hull or whatever their crappy sign said !
We were jumping about and Ben was waving the sign all over the place. Then it panned away.
We decided to go onto the beach to see if we stood a chance there .... nope ! We just didn't seem to get to the right place for the camera, there was kids flying about everywhere. It was a great atmosphere, we just didn't expect all those people there !
We're just in for the evening now .. early night cos it's a big day tomorrow !! We've got the tree all sorted and even Digs wanted in the christmas spirit too .... ha ha sorry Emma !!
Merry Christmas to you all and we'll speak to you at some point and see if you've been good boys and girls this year !
Night then ! x
