have a little merry x'mas!

being downunder, we were ready for a hot hot hot x'mas...
instead, the very english weather descended - including bucket loads of rain for the farmers (yipee) & a gloom and doom overcast (best reserved for video / hot chocolate days)
no matter... we did think of having a steamboat, but instead, had something deviating just a little from the tradition - i repeated the 90-degree slow fillet of beef roast...
which was yum to the max...
fillet was $30/kg and tasted much better than the $150/kg wagyu...
we had christmas pudding, custard and all (with too much brandy)...
we also opened our pressies!
this year... i got from santa(s)...
(as i have requested... excellent read, i am only on pg 10-15 or something... but v v good!)
something comfy for the feet...
something to make more cards / packaging with...
much needed software for my little and med laptops...
cookbooks from the fareast...
chocolates chocolates and more chocolates!
this is not a chinese new year red packet... it is a "golden packet" for x'mas!
