Hi Charlie and Judy,

I can just imagine your excess baggage charges with all that stuff! Well, ya gotta be prepared ;-) It's all sorted now, apart from the hole in the wall. It was a bit exciting for a while tho.

Just for a change, the weather is perfect. The rain went away early this morning and it's sunny and beautiful - but not too hot. The Christmas Bush looks fantastic - lovely and red. Vegetables are running rampant all over the garden - I can't pick them fast enough. Sandra is going to help us out by taking some home. It's a shame she doesn't like capsicums, cos we have heaps. But she can have beans, tomatoes, lemons and a cucumber or two.

Merry Christmas to you guys! John can raise a cup of tea, but if you don't mind, I'll raise a stubby of Coopers Sparkling Ale, which is what I have in my hand right nowl

Jenny
