Messy Smashmas

So Christmas has come and gone... and whilst I don't really believe in it, I do believe in having a few drinks.... and so this year, I renamed the day "Smashmas!!".

On "Smashmas Eve", I cooked a beautiful roast chicken to enjoy with my friend Eve, who was down from Brisbane. It was my first attempt, and it turned out perfectly, if I do say so myself!

On "Smashmas Day" day, the weather was absolutely beautiful for a change, and the gorgeous sun was out in force.

I spent the day down near the beach with a few other 'orphaned' friends and we ate, drank, dipped in the ocean, and most importantly, laughed!!

The boys

The 'Tipsy' Tree

The highlight of the day for me was seeing Ben, a Scotsman who'd only been in Australia for a few months, enter the ocean for the first time. Upon realising how cold the water was, he started to tiptoe into the ocean.... which was funny in itself. Once he was waist deep in, a massive wave started moving towards him.... and I have to say that seeing the look of pure horror on his face, while he turned around and tried to RUN from this wave, only to get dumped, was probably the most hilarious thing I have seen all year!

I hope you all had a lovely day as well :)
