A foreign Christmas

Well, so much for a white Christmas :( The snow has melted and the temperature is back up to a toasy 10 degrees. Last week the temperature ranged between -1 to 5 degress and it was miserably cold. I'm getting all these wonderful emails and pictures from everyone back home who is on holiday and on the beach or sipping sushi and its starting to make me ever so homesick... Fine, we have roaring fires and mulled wine, but what is Xmas without a braai, some sunshine, mad family antics and a pretty summery dress! It does feel pretty weird to be so far away from home when there is so much festivity taking place back in tht Mother City. Thankfully Karl is off work for about 10 days, so we're gonna do a few things, just so it feels like we're on holiday too. Not much planned yet, just gonna take it as it comes and explore every inch of Norhtern Ireland.

We went out last night to see Karl's friend who is here from the US. Tonight we are going to Belfast to see a comedy show that STARTS AT 10PM!? And tomorrow is my work (haha, I only started here last week) Chrsitmas Party, which almost everyone in the Glen is invited to. So I'm going to be all partied out for Christmas, and might just end up sleeping through all the festivity! :)

Have fun in the sun (although apparently its raining at home) and have a cocktail or 2 on me.
