Andrew hade fått ett cricket set av Christian och Veronica i julklapp igår så vi provade det idag. Jag har ju aldrig spelat cricket, vi harj u inte ens det i Sverige men det ser ju inte sååå svårt ut och det gick skitbra, jag var skitbra :) Det gick bra både att kasta bollen och slå den.

Det blev en italiensk/nya zeelänsk julmiddag. Veronica och Christian spenderade nästan hela dagen i köket, dom lagade lasagne, från scratch, egen pasta, egen sås osv. Det tog tid men det var jäkla gott! Jimmy som representerade Nya Zeeland grillade lamm, fläsk och potatis, det gick mycket snabbare och var oxå jäkla gott. Veronica och Christian hade även lagat efterrätt, en svensk tårta tydligen, det var kanel och choklad och det var ju såklart oxå gott :)

Nu sitter vi och kollar på TV, men det är en besvikelse, det är inga julfilmer alls! Av nån okänd anledning så kollar vi på dart nu, undrar varför jag bloggar och Veronica facebookar istället...

Merry Christmas to all our British, Aussie and Kiwi family and friends!

It was very cloudy when we got up this morning but it soon cleared and the sun came out and it got warmer than yesterday.

Andrew got a cricket set for Christmas from Veronica and Christian so we tried it out after breakfast. Since I'm Swedish I have never tried cricket, we don't even have it in my country but I didn't think it looked that hard and I was right, or maybe I'm just a natural ;) I could bat and bowl although it took a while to figure out how to bowl and not throw since apparently there was a difference.

So today we had an Italian/kiwi Christmas dinner. Veronica and Christian spent most of the day in the kitchen making lasagne, they made it from scratch! The pasta, the sauces, all of it. Very impressing and very very nice.

Jimmy was representing New Zealand and his part of the dinner was a lot less complicated (like the kiwis) and he stuck some lamb racks, pork and potatoes on the BBQ. Again, it was very nice.

Veronica and Christian had also made a cake, apparently they call it a Swedish Cake, it was cinnamon and chocolate and as usual, it was very nice. The bloody Italians put our cooking to shame :)

Now we're watching TV, it's a bit disappointing, there are no xmas movies or anything and for some unknown reason we are watching darts! Wonder why I'm blogging and Veronica is facebooking...
