Christmas was spent at the twisted shed. It was decided after a big year we would have a quiet Chrissy at the block. The two older boys where set up in a tent to give them their space. As there was no oven a roast turkey lunch proved a challenge. But this is part of living simply, to think outside the square. We cooked the turkey in a electric fry-pan with a lid and the potatoes in the fire wrapped in Alfoil. It worked a treat. As it was beautiful day we sat outside, with our cracker hats on. As I said in the previous post the shower needed attention so we set about putting in a shower base with a brick edge and a slate base. The screen and workings would need thought later. The run-off (waste) will need to run into an absorption trench a 2 metre trench with screenings. Christmas day was spent laying in the hammock and playing with the toys Santa had bought in his ute towed by 6 white kangaroos. We had to leave after 5 days as a bad fire day was upon us. This is the unfortuate part of visiting the bush it can burn. We are very alert in this time of year, watching the weather and our surroundings.
