Cricket!

Hi Jonas here,

Today we went the small oval in Turramurra and we played cricket there.  We had a really fun time.  I scored a 50 run partnership with Martha.  You play cricket with a flat bat.  You have two runners (batsmen) and a bowler (pitcher) and a wicket keeper (catcher).  When someone hits the ball, the two batsmen run to each wicket until a fielder throws the ball back to the bowler or the wicket keeper.  Dad is not very good at cricket but Uncle Dai is.

    Hello! Today its Xmas Eve…in Sweden we normally have our presents in the evening of Xmas Eve…after eating an enormous Xmas table – julbord in Swedish…

    This morning will start with breakfast and a long walk since weather is sunny and fairly warm…

    All the best to all of you from all of us – how will your Xmas be?

    Perhaps the collapse of the Brits in the Ashes has affected Dad’s game! He just needs more practice!
    much love, Charlie

  3. Maybe your dad needs to practice his Cricket skills in the future!! We’ll try not to mention that next time we see him.

    Merry Christmas from the other half of the world. (So far, we won’t be having a white christmas, because it’s 60 degrees, and sunny)

    -John and Pete
