Merry Christmas everyone! I know we're late with this post but Tom wasn't gonna spend his one day off work putting this up. Better late than never.

What did we do for Christmas? Well we went to a church service in the city on the 24th (a good family service with abridged carols (excellent for Tom who doesn't really enjoy carols, and excellent for Karen who loves carols as it meant that we sang more of them). Christmas eve for us also saw a couple of skype sessions with people back home which was nice. Christmas day had a food focus and another lot of skype chats. Overall a really nice day.

Tom was back at work at 7am boxing day- the people crushing sales day here in Canada. It was crazy but he was out of there by 3pm. Karen had the day off.

Other than that we have been both been well. Karen has been making the most of her library membership and Tom has been busy making things (mainly words and letters) out of plasticine that he bought from the dollar shop (for one dollar of course).

Tom now has 10 pairs of shoes. Karen bought a pair of brown gum boots. She looks like she owns a horse but they keep her feet dry. Tom's shoes are far less practical but they look good and really that's a practical thing... isn't it?

Yay! Am back at work and so able to check your latest shots. Merry Christmas to you both! (Hey - it's still Jan isn't it!) Am loving the plasticine type.
Today is day 3 of Big Week Out, so am out every night at a different base, visiting, chatting and enjoying the vibe. All looking great so far, although across the board regos are down, but that just means bases are more intimate and hopefully by the end of the week everyone will know everyone.
Normal life is strange after a month of 'abnormal' life :-) Great to sleep in my own bed though...
p.s. I'm all for horsey stuff...
