Default Merry Christmas to All from Down Under!

G'day all,
Just thought I'd wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Just as some of you may be experiencing or wishing for a white Christmas this year, we celebrate it a bit differently down here.
Being summer for us, the weatherman is bringing us 35 degrees C in Melbourne. A bit on the warm side, with conditions that aren't for all, but we quite like it.

So enjoy your traditional roast in front of the fire, and I'll have a beer for you!

All the best for the New Year

Sorry Mark, it is all my fault. I washed her today. The 8 looks clean as well
May Gwen and I also wish all of you, yours and your 8s all the best for a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
