Journal: A Chrismas Tale
Today I had a Christmas pudding after my main meal. This was a small pudding for one complete with a dose of brandy and add your own sauce... I chose custard. Made by a small NZ firm with the trademark of "Aunty Betty's". Pat wanted to know how I found it for taste with the idea of getting a larger size for Christmas dinner in 2 weeks time. As I consumed the pudding my thoughts drifted back to my days as a small boy and Christmas puddings.
In the 1930s-40s our christmas pudding was like most, home made, usually in a large basin.

Journal: Friday 25th April 2008. Pat's Birthday and Anzac Day.
This year Gillian invited us up to Whitianga to celebrate Pat's birthday. We left the day before, Thursday and stayed until Monday. Anthony and Craig travelled from Hamilton to attend along with Tahlia returning the same day.
Altogether attending were Pat and myself, Gillian and Paul, Tahlia, Caitlin, Anthony and Craig. We had lunch at an up-market fish restaurant on the water front close to the wharf. Much enjoyed by all of us. I chose and particularly enjoyed the very fresh hapuka, a deep sea fish.
