Christmas Greeting to all.

Although I have been very much in blogging limbo

for the past few weeks I have, nevertheless,

thought of you all often.

I have read many more blogs than I have left

comments on, and I've really appreciated the fact

that so many of you have continued to

read and comment on my postings,

few and far between though they have been.

Now I'm sure you are all busily preparing for Christmas.

Many of you, I didn't even know this time last year.

That's the beauty of blogs; new friendships are made

and very soon you feel like you've know each other

for years.

While many of you will experience a white Christmas,

and others will be hoping for one (or maybe not),

here in Australia it is now summer time.

Most places will experience a hot Christmas Day,

and sadly, many areas of Victoria and Tasmania

will still be fighting off devastating bushfires.

Here in Canberra, I think the forecast is for a

fine, cloudy day around 24ºC, so that will be

very pleasant indeed (although possibly

rain would be even more pleasant,

especially for the firefighters).

This year we will share our Christmas Day

with Michelle and Marcel and our grandchildren,

and also Marcel's parents who are visiting from Switzerland.

It should be a very enjoyable day, indeed.

So, may I wish all my blog friends,

a very happy Christmas, and a

safe, healthy and rewarding New Year.
