Dear Emma,
I hope you are fine and that you are enjoying Christmas day! I have bought some presents for you Miss Em - just the usual type of stuff but I hope you like them

(As usual too, I still need to post them - should be soon!!)
I have had a nice day this Christmas. I was at church this morning and there was a very good service with Rev Stan Bannon. Stan is our Supply Minister at St Andrews for the moment because Rev Keith Ellisdon is not able to work and will take early retirement due to his very bad back. It is really sad about Keith - he was only our minister for a short time but he was really good. After church this morning I went home, made some lunch (spicy noodles & vegetables, and some tropical jelly I had made the night before ) and then picked up Nancy Lyne before going to see Alex Lyne in Wantirna Eastern Health respite care. We had a really nice afternoon in Alex's room, sharing food and talking. My friend Alex (you'll remember him I think) had a fall a few weeks ago and so that is why he is resting in respite for a while. He is almost better now apart from a small infection in his foot. They are lovely people to spend time with and I'm very lucky to know them .
Tonight I am back home. I spoke to Grandma and Grandpa in NZ on the phone before and they are both fine. They have had a good Christmas as well - they had shared lunch with Uncle Colin & Aunt Nina and where watching a Monty Python DVD when I rang. Now I'm watching “Spirited Away” on SBS, one of my favourite films, so that it a nice way to finished Christmas day.
I hope you are happy and well Miss Em. It would be really great to catch up sometime, so looking forward to that!!
Take care and a very happy Christmas to you!!
Lots of love,
Aaron xxoo
P.S. Lulu is sleeping on the sofa opposite to me - she wishes you a very happy Christmas too!!
