Back in Adelaide

Friday, 24 December 2021

I went for another walk/run first thing in the morning (to avoid the heat) in the nearby Belair National Park - one of my favourite things to do in Adelaide:

Then we left for Ikea. We were intending to get breakfast from there but we were disappointed to discover that they only did breakfast on weekends (at least that's what their excuse was today). So it was chicken nuggets and chips for breakfast!

After a leisurely stroll through the store, buying absolutely nothing functional...

... we went for a swim at nearby West Beach with Jon's old schoolfriend Damien and his family.  Surprisingly the water felt a lot warmer than at Kangaroo Island (which was an OK temperature anyway), but I didn't enjoy being nipped on the feet by the blue swimmer crabs!  By the time we were out of the water and ready to head home it was after 3, which didn't really leave Jon enough time to make the trifle he'd been talking about making for days.  I think the last time he made trifle was in the days before Zali was born, and she's just about to turn 18, so he's a bit out of practise.

After more swimming and dinner Jett and I settled down to decorate a gingerbread house with various members of the Moffa clan.
