I haven't been getting my NG updates much, so I thought I'd make sure I got
my Merry Christmas in well before time.

It is now 9:42 PM on the 23rd (21:42 in old money) and apart from the
torrential rain, gales, and bush fires all has been well.

We are in Akaroa, which is a peninsula just outside Christchurch on the
South Island.
A good place to spend Christmas, especially with the French influence from
some early settlers.

Hope your white Christmas isn't too trying.

Cheers

Dave R

and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you from another South
Island, the Isle of Wight.

All snow cleared now for a few days, but very cold. Have to clear the water
out from the bird baths as soon as it gets dark, then fill them in the
mornings. First visitor to ours this morning was our Long Tailed Tit.

08.32 am here at present on Thursday 23rd

We are just starting the day you are just finishing :-))

Best wishes

Mike
