It's a Posso Christmas

Foregoing the usual Christmas demands, I have stayed back in Auckland this year all by myself. Marvellous!

After a few drinks out in Ponsonby last night, it was a bit of a sleep-in before heading out on an 80km morning ride. Returning, I began preparing a Posso Christmas feast - a Christmas Curry. First course was Squid in a spicy spinach sauce. This was followed by a Paresee Chicken Curry, served with brown rice and paratha. Both were delicious, and washed down with a taste-off of 2007 and 2008 vintages of Cooper's Strong Ale. I'm just savouring the last of the 2008 vintage right now.

And I'll be heading off later to join some fellow Christmas orphans (though these are legitimate ones - most are all from the UK) to have a few more drinks.

The perfect Posso Christmas - no tree, no presents, , no travel, no fuss, no stress. Marvellous!
