Turkey and Stuffing and Plum Pudding and Tiramisu and Other Stuff is what I ate over Christmas

Woah! Now that I have come out of my food-induced coma, I guess I can report on my doings over Christmas. I spent it with the MATH and his family in Braidwood, which is a small country town about an hour's drive from Canberra (The REAL capital of Australia). The timetable for the festivities went as follows:

Christmas Eve- Eat
Christmas Day- Eat
Boxing Day- Eat

You know, in my head, that little bon mot was going to be really funny and amusing. But then I looked at it and realised that everybody else who celebrates Christmas probably did the same thing, and so I'm actually being completely unoriginal.

• I have some very well-connected relatives-in-law. You know, the kind that can get you into the Queen's Annual Garden Party (She's so important that the event deserves capitalisation, dammit!)
• For anyone who remotely cares, we won the 4th Test.
• I was once on TV. My family and I were visiting a small Victorian town called Glenrowan, which is where a famous bushranger/highwayman/thief and all around scoundrel called Ned Kelley was finally arrested. Anyway, so we were all sitting in a coffee shop looking very cute (I was 10) and this film crew came in! They were filming a documentary called "Great Train journeys of the world" and there was a particular train that went through Glenrowan. So anyway, the film crew wanted to do some filming in the town and so we got on TV. But I think we were edited out. We had to sign a waiver though.
• I did some driving! I drove for three and a half hours straight and it was very exciting. I even overtook slow trucks and felt very hardcore, but then they overtook me straightaway, and it's actually very scary when a 24-wheeler truck goes roaring past you.
• Here is a poem dedicated to Canberra:

Oh Canberra, you are so boring.

So very very boring.

But.

You do have Parliament house, so that's alright.

• I really love not having a job. I mean, I really, really, really like it. There are so many things one can do when one is not working. The only problem is not having money. Perhaps I'll make one of those websites where you just say "Give me money" and people give you money.
