That time of the year.

Today I bought the food for Christmas Lunch:

4kg Tiger Prawns
8 balmain bugs (aka slipper lobsters)
2 chickens (currently in the smoker, smoking)
a ham
a leg of pork (mum will cook that. mmmmm crackling)

Tomorrow friends from the Philippines will bring dishes of spicy chicken and pork pieces, friends from Sri Lanka will bring Dahl and rice.

And we will open the gifts, and sit under the air conditioner (because it is SUMMER) and stuff our faces until we can't move.

May all your dreams and fine wishes come true in this, the best of the seasons.
