Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Well another Xmas is over and the new year of 2006 is on our door step. I spent xmas down at my pops west of Coffs Harbour, and I must say, xmas eve was one of the hottest days I think I have experienced since I moved back to aussie. But as always the river lived up to expectations and was nice and cold for an afternoon dip.

It was nice to spend xmas with the family, some of whom I haven't seen in a few years. I think it really hit home just how close it is until I travel to the UK, and I'm really going to miss my Pop. My cousins Flick and Mahl's have come home with us to the gold coast for a few weeks, and I'm really enjoying having them here.

Last night I took the girls to infinity, and they had a blast. A little bit scary for Mahli but I think she really enjoyed it otherwise.

Only 14 more days of work to go, and counting down. Wishing everybody a very happy new year, and all the best for 2006. (Drink and be Merry!)

...Over and out.
