is recovering after a torturous (but oh so good) Boxing Day massage.
is wondering if anybody wants to go to the cricket next week? Drop me a line and we’ll get tix.

Anybody up for going to the cricket next weekend? It appears there are still tickets available. Let me know and I’ll organise it!

A Holiday in the Bush (Subtitled: Internet Withdrawal)

We went for a walk. We’ve taken naps. We’ve watched native birds playing in a birdbath. We’ve got very little cell phone signal, and we haven’t touched computers for 48 hours.

If you don’t hear from us before then, have a Merry Christmas everybody!

This morning the Snook and I both confessed a shameful admiration for the ATM bandits. They’re just so crazy! For the past couple of months they’ve been blowing up ATMs with, like, compressed gas and making away with the cash. They haven’t killed anybody yet, and the police seem nowhere near catching them. They’re like modern bushrangers!
thinks she might have a little snooze.
An update on my garden with plenty of photos of lush greenness for you poor sods in the Northern Hemisphere.
