Calm Days Between Yule and the New Year

[Photos taken on 26-30 December 2018, posted online 30 June 2019. We’ve finally got some rain and clouds, but there’s quite a bit of yellow grass around still.]

We were all on holiday between Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve, because there were only two working days separating the two.

We mostly took it veeeery easy, there was one family gathering, we played computer games until late at night, went swimming, I did make it to the gym a few times, and all in all it was quite nice. (15-ish images)

Brothers, chowing down.

A funny thing happened a little while later…
The rest of us played Besserwisser.
So. Much. Yummy. Stuff!

Walking to the swimming pool. The pool was so popular that day that we needed to park a little ways away!

We tried playing this board-game, it went pretty well!
After the younger kids had gone to bed, the older folks played The Witness game on the playstation, that we’d abandoned some two years ago. We finally made some headway, yes, via a bit of cheating.

Whoohoo, I made it to the gym!
Post-gym cafe-visit. It was the busiest I’ve ever seen it!
On the way back, I tried out the new self-checkout station at the local grocery shop. These are here to stay, yay!
