Please, ignore any reference I may have made to how cold it can be in the last post. It has, of course, gotten a lot colder now. The sort of cold which makes you think that you'll never be warm again. Cold mixed with fog and predictions of snow, its something else.
Having said that, it really doesn't feel like Christmas. Its freezing, Christmas should be spent in the pool with stubbies on a hot summer day! But enough about the weather.
Am missing home this week. This is the first Christmas outside of Brisbane or Sydney for many many years and its an odd feeling. Am having some great times in this here little town, but have a feeling that I'm missing something at home that's happening right now. Missing Matthew more than anyone if truth be told, am feeling the huge distance now more than ever. Still life goes on for the moment.
Am spending Christmas day with Aunt Maeve, Uncle John, Aunt Brenda, some cousins and some children of cousins. Who I suppose are also cousins. Vive la differance, family is family and I'm faring better than a lot of folk here who have none. Mind you, they've all gone to Prague for what sounds like a meat and beer festival of some description....
Anyways, to all who read this, have a wonderful, wonderful Christmas and an excellent new year. Will be thinking of you all.

Hi Sam. A very Happy Christmas to you from all the Bennett side of the family. I shall be thinking of you as I board the plane for the long flight to Sydney next Friday. May 2007 bring you lots of good things.
Love, Anne
Merry Christmas Sam. Wishing you lots of eggnog and hot toddies to get you through the chill. Perhaps you could consider organising a pudding party over there some time. At least the weather would be appropriate. Mark & the kids send their love and hugs too.

Agh, what are you going on about you wimp, you were brought up on this sort of weather in your early life; you've gone soft!! You'll be right on C'mas day after a few room temperature ales. Will call tomorrow and tell you about how wonderful it is in Aus.
Love, Joe.
