Merry Christmas!

Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day...

No.  No, I do not.

I am so very bloated.  I ate so very much and drank so very much I think once a year is quite enough Thank You Very Much.

But it was awesome.

Lily is a gift

We made gingerbread houses

Of course, once again, Christmas was celebrated on the 23rd because of work.  I ended up being on a 3 day trip from 24-26 Dec, but we had a nice crew BBQ up in Cairns on Christmas Day, and the Captain bought us each a bottle of Moët! 

D wanted an official photo of our first Christmas but this is the closest we got 

Despite working over Christmas, I still managed to decorate the aeroplane...

...Which gave me great pleasure! 

 Now that Christmas is over, I really should stop eating so much.  And start doing some more climbing.  Unfortunately, my roster hasn’t been very friendly towards climbing recently, but tomorrow morning we have an early East Beerwah planned.

In other news, we may make a trip to Ireland & the UK in September/October 2019!  Woo!!!

Six days’ work, followed by two days “off”, and I’m now back on day one of six, reeling slightly and wondering what happened to the last two weeks.

I flew to a lot of places, I overnighted a couple of times, I hung out with my New Favourite Person, I climbed a few mountains but Not So Many because the roster gods + weather frowned on me, I ate a LOT of food (my New Favourite Person can cook really well), and in between all of these activities I gasped for breath and napped occasionally.

Tonight, I have a Sunshine Coast overnight which is slightly weird because it is so close to home yet not home, but thankfully tomorrow I get almost twenty four hours at home before my next overnight (Cairns) and my NFP is away for a week so my plan is to watch a lot of Netflix and turn myself into a couch potato. 

There hasn’t been any more small aircraft flying yet due to crazy busyness but maybe after Christmas is out of the way I will get another chance!
