Christmas Day is but a distant memory here in the land of Oz, the post-christmas sales would have started a few hours ago & I'll be contacting my ISP sometime soon (they close on Christmas day!) as for some reason I failed to connect to my email server yesterday afternoon which is when I found out they close Christmas Day! But as they have an Australian call centre, unlike many other companies, & I was able to get on to the WWW, I didn't mind. I just wonder how many emails are lined up waiting for me. If there are none, I'll be very sad ...

Today's forecast fro Sydney - Partly cloudy. Medium (60%) chance of showers, most likely during this afternoon and evening. The chance of a thunderstorm in the morning and early afternoon. Winds southerly 25 to 35 km/h. (ps only 1-5mm of rain is expected)

Summer is cyclone season at the top of our Island continent but the latest warning had been downgraded. Cyclones occur around the tropical north between beginning of November & end of April.
