Gidday all,

Christmas has been and gone, we had a quiet one up at the house. We were invited to lunch at a locals house down the range a bit, so off we went for a few hours. Made a new friend with a gentle giant of a dog, had a wonderful Christmas lunch and good company.

 

New years eve was also quiet, had a meal and some drinks with friends down the fire shed, but were in bed early, so much for the party life.

The jobs on the house are getting done, have put up a handrail on the front steps and fixed up numerous other small things. The duck has moved in and is loving it. Had better stay off the wood stove if it knows what’s good for it.

Weather is warmer lately, in the late 20s last few days. The nights are cool, down to 7—8most nights. Very nice.
