It’s a bit of an odd Xmas here in NZ, a lot of families are in conflict over that vaccine thing, and churches are even turning away unvaxxed members of their flock.
I could see all this conflict and uncertainty coming from a long way off, so I elected to work thru Xmas and just have the stat holidays off. This meant not catching up with my brother, and one of the last surviving Aunt’s as I originally intended to.
For Xmas day, we met up with a family, thats also been isolated by all this vaccine conflict at a local beach. It was sort of like a blind date as we had never met these people before, but their kids were the same ages as ours, so we had some stuff in common. It turned out to be really neat, as we had several kayaks and a surfboard between us, which for made for a very relaxed day.
The next day, the kids never got up until very late, then made a beeline for the playstation 4 that we had brought them for Xmas.
It was much later in the day, that I managed to get my oldest daughter back onto a motorcycle.
We ended up buying a bike for her to use, because it’s now too hard to hire one, like we used to, before all this covid stuff.
It’s been a year since she’s ridden a bike and she was a bit nervous at first, but after an hour she was quite confident again.
Santa brought me a skateboard… Some might ask, what is a 55 year old doing with a skateboard?
The answer is I’m just having fun, and I don’t know how to act my age, because I’ve never been this age before!
Merry Xmas everyone!!
