Merry Christmas
So here I am doing what I never thought I would do, spending Christmas somewhere so far removed from everything I have ever known.
It’s Christmas eve and 29C outside, with large grey clouds in the sky and a heavy cold that gripped me yesterday. If it wasn’t for the temperature outside, it would be just like Christmas back home.
I still find it weird going outside at Christmas time with just shorts and a t-shirt on. In the uk, I would be wrapped up in jeans, a shirt, jumper and coat at least.
Last night, I spent just short of 24 hours in bed. I simply passed out due to my cold and stayed there until I felt well enough to get up.
When I woke up, Ian was here cooking for the family. It is Filipino tradition to have two large meals, one on Christmas eve and one on Christmas day. These are called Noche Buena which is a feast on Christmas eve and a Christmas day lunch.
passed out with a cold?! this warmer climate must be turning you into a wimp mate! haha
It wasn’t so much the cold, it was that I was coughing so much that I fucked my back. I may be a wimp, but at least I get to wear shorts and a t-shirt every day. I dont even own a coat or jacket. Booya!
I don’t mind. Hot weather gets rather dull after a while!
I never do. Its not nice when its really hot, but I really love just walking out my door without having to put on jeans, coat, jumper etc. Obviously not in that order!
