Living through a White (!?) Christmas

Not exactly what I expected to find in the front garden this Christmas morning. This was about 3 hours afterwards...



Apparently we didn't get it too bad, some areas it seemed like it had actually snowed. The bushfires were threatening the ski resorts last weekend, this weekend they are literally covered in a few millimeters of snow... all in the middle of Summer. :D

I had a great Christmas lunch today, not too much to eat, although I think turkey is off the menu for at least the next 3 months. :P

Three Cards

Christmas is so near, the shopping centres are open 24 hours again, I'm just really happy because I don't have to go to work again for the rest of the year :D Received a grand total of three Christmas cards this year, including the one from Fedex Kinkos. Fel sent me one from London where she is living now. Apparently she is spending NYE in NY. I'm sure that's going to such a mind-blowing experience.

I know someone who owes me two cards, a birthday (from four months ago no less) and Christmas one... you know who you are :P

25 Days till Christmas

Tomorrow is the first of the office Christmas Parties that I will be attending. I'm not sure what to expect, except its at a bowls club... hmmm... well, guess I can find out what there is to do when I retire! :D
