Santa/Nana/Grandad bought Ethan a bait catcher for Christmas, perfect gift? yes. He had pretty much been holding his breath in anticipation of catching those sprats; After he had discovered this ‘new species’ , he counted how many fish he had caught, only to find out …
There were only two rules, stay home and don’t shop. Easy; Cherry toms are almost ready! Eggplant….not so much Ethan loves his Candyland game from Meemee
After breakfast we loaded up and headed out to the farm where Mum and Dad were hosting Christmas Lunch for the whole Godfrey clan. We had such a mint day, the weather was awesome, the house was perfect for lunch for so many people, the kids had a blast playing together and Hadyn was there! Pefecto! Thanks Mum, you did an awesome job;

A 5.55am start saw us revelling in the Christmas spirit bright and early and it was worth it. Ethan was so sweet and excited, he gave Louie, Dave and I our gifts before he even though about tackling the large mound under the tree. Ethan …
After a lovely traditional turkey dinner Ethan set out his cookies for Santa, and a carrot (just one) for the reindeer and headed quietly to bed. Perhaps the hype of the last few days before Christmas had wore him out as he fell asleep so quickly….hmmm what time will wake-up be in the morning?
We had the Annual Xmas Masterclass at the gym today, with optional dress-up so of course I was in! Believe or not I did the 1.5hr class with my plane on the whole time (except for the yoga and pilates sections). Thanks Abs for the …
After successfully completing the introduction to The Essay, I know it’s 11.30am – you can’t rush these things – I am hungry. I just opened the fridge door to a god almighty stink and was a little bit excited at the thought of a cleaning job to distract me from my writing.
