It's cool down here in the South-East too Helen. The bushfire North of us looks like it might be under control and the wind's swung around to the West. Still no rain and the whole area is tinder dry.
BUT - our baby Magpie is busy stuffing everything she can find into my shoes. Shiny tinsel, little flowers, a small Teddy bear, a ring off a cd spindle. It's Christmas morning here too.
Merry Christmas!
Cheers, Joy
