That's right, rub it in! And to top it off, you guys get Christmas before we do!

The view from my front door consists of a stream of traffic rushing to the shops before they close. I won't bother with a photo.

Thats right, Father Christmas calls here first and he likes to unload the heavy presents just as soon as he can. :)

You got any bush fires in your area?  I see they are bad near Adelaide.

No bushfires in New South Wales as yet but quite a few warnings (http://www.bushfirealert.com.au/)
Being so close to the Sydney CBD, there's not much chance of a bushfire affecting me but the national parks that surround Sydney are a cause for concern.

The big ones in South Australia are under control at the moment.

The Wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual parameters of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issue of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever shall first occur, and warranty is limited to replacement of the Wish with the same or (at the sole discretion of the Wisher) an equivalent wish.

Thats ok.   I would'nt hold it against you, even if you were.
From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".


Forget about the price of gold and oil, its the price of beer that matters.
