Plans for Christmas '21

[trentrunciman]

Open presents and then partake in a morning workout before the festivities.

I'll be enjoying a feast with my close family.
Eating all the favourites.

Probably take some small amount of happiness knowing the covid thread is now closed but bitter sweet cos I can no longer read the comedy that gets posted there.

What kind of foods will you eat mate? I’m sure you’ll have amazing culturally diverse food!

 

[trentrunciman]

Waiting for a baby.

Congrats.
First time?

Thanks mate.

Second and last. Our eldest is six. Got a girl this time so get to experience both. Been an absolute [censored] of a pregnancy, just waiting and crossing our fingers that she holds off until the 30th so the wife can deliver locally and have a water birth.

Hope everything works out 100%.
And remember, behind every great daughter is a truly amazing Wests Tigers Dad.

The young bloke is teetering, I'll get the daughter for us though lol

Hope you have a happy holidays CB! Stay safe! Don’t want the Sydney sneeze ? or Sydney Spicy Cough

Family

Stay safe everyone.. best wishes to all..

6 weeks post Achilles surgery so I’ll be kicking up my feet doing sweet bugger all. Normally we’d be at my uncles beach house down the coast fishing and riding the quad bikes

My misses is back to tennis, golf, bowls after 6 months, still not 100% but at least she is active. Be patient and all will be good.

Mrs family is sorting it out.
Lots of seafood, i think.

Ima throw together some stuff as well.
It's a massive day of food.

Always stuffed.

That's why I gotta workout before it all ?

 

[240z]

Taking my new 4wd upto the Mid North Coast to see my parents
Do some beach and mountain track driving
Drink far to much of Dad's home brew and eat the best roast chicken ever
Get out of the city and back to the good life
Renew the energy and then back to the grind at work

Have a safe a merry xmas all and wish for a better 2022

Yep that sounds promising. It seriously is one of the slowest recoveries out there…

Honestly don’t even wanna think about playing sport anytime soon, just keen to get back into the gym and start working again haha

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Bribie Island , Beers , Fishing , crabbing , Relaxing , Eating Steaks and Seafood , no salad due to holiday time yaaa

Had a great weekend fishing at Bribie many years ago. Rough Saturday but the sunday cleared up. Had dolphins playing around the boat and the local turtle showed up (think his name might have been Trevor?)

 

[Tim Sheens]

Hoping to head to Cairns in the morning and through to NYE, but who knows if we'll get there. Had our swabs taken at the 71 hour point prior to scheduled arrival and got my son's negative result at lunchtime today, but still awaiting mine and very anxious about not getting the message in time.

My wife is travelling up on Xmas day, so got hers this morning and fingers crossed for both of us.

 

[TigerSJ]

Driving down to Melbourne to visit my wife’s family- she has none in Sydney so every year (except the last 2) we have done the road trip to spend Christmas with them. Kids are 17 & 19 now so it’s not quite the same as it used to be.
All the best wishes to all of you and your families. Stay well and may Santa be very generous.

Family - precious time.
(minus eldest son - living in Perth - face time does not cut it!)
Wishing everyone here the best.
Make the best memories!

That sounds perfect. Is tomato sauce classed as salad? :grinning:

The first game my son watched us play on tv was against the Roosters. As usual, the toweled us up. Afterward he said, "Dad, I think I might start supporting the Roosters". My reply: "You'll need to find a new home!". Poor bugger was only 5 or 6, but has been a loyal Tigers supporter since. Sometimes tough love is the best love.

See if you can make it to the Bay Road Brewery. It's just up the road from Gosford train station. Has a great vibe and great beer, brewed on the premises. I have some mates that live at the CC and that's a must go to when we catch up.

Feel for you with the Perth situation. My cousin is over there and my Aunt hasn’t met her granddaughter and she was born over 18 months ago. FaceTime doesn’t make up for not being able to see people. They keep shutting their borders hard.

The Six Strings brewery which is a few suburbs away has the better beers. A lot of the beers on tap at the Bay Road are from other brewers. I find their beers a bit underwhelming

Xmas plans cancelled because my brother in law just tested positive to COVID and we spent a week with them up North. So my second isolation period this month... fun fun fun

Can still do the normal morning thing with my kids, but no extended family.

Sorry to hear that mate. I think your story will be repeated a few times this year, unfortunately. Hope you and your family test negative.
