I feel it only appropriate to post a quick note to say Merry Christmas to you all and to no one at the same time. I've braved Tiger airways and returned home to Western Australia for a much needed and deserved Christmas break with my fantastic family and my old friends not forgotten. I've spent the last five days on the water with Chloe the houseboat and my family and I have had new visitors everyday to join us in the persistent relaxation demanded from the life of leisure. Alas, land must come or we must return to it as the dwellers and strollers that we are. I hope this entry finds you all relaxed and doing what you love most or avoiding what demands so much of your energy. Christmas morning found me relaxing and experimenting with the likes of my new Syphon Coffee maker, invented by the Germans and developed by the Japanese it is now a permanent part of my coffee repertoire and I'm proud of it. There's something to be said about spending time with family on a houseboat with the beautiful sun beating down on you and sharing a seafood meal over and over and learning about yourself and the people around you. I am grateful for each second here and will remember it always always. Merry Christmas xx
