Ok - So its the time of stuffing, getting stuffed, cake (mmm Cake), beer, vino and other fattening goodies. "It's all good..." as the Aussies would say here in Brisbane.
Well - For those in the Uk - I hope the sun shines eventually.
And for the Aussies - well I hope it pisses down and we get some water.
Ironic.
But Christmas is a time for thinking and family and fun and we wish everyone and all the very best in this regard.
To our friends - you are most dear to us.
To our Family - you drive us nuts - but we love you for it.
And to our enemies.... HA....Bum!
Best for 2008
Jim, Audrey and Monster Boy - Jack.

Two weeks before Christmas
Hullo - Audrey here....
Jack had his school concert last Friday - the Prep class were dancing to Jailhouse Rock and Rockin Robin with the year 1's. Jack was buzzing afterwards - though admittidly he did forget half the steps, as he was too busy telling his classmates where they were going wrong!
He also posted his rather extensive letter to Father Christmas, with a nice montage of Doctor Who stickers on the back, in a special post box in the city. We the trundled off to Meyer (an expensive House of Fraser type place) and did the free santa train ride. Jack boarded with his Golden Ticket to ride and went round the store three times.
Then onto Southbank where we went to see Asimo (Hondas robot) put on a show. Asimo is an independantly self driven walking robot - about 5 foot tall. It's like a plastic toy, but wierdly all too real. You found your self liking it dispite it joking constantly about the Terminator. Still if somethings going to get you - it might as well be cute Asimo. Jack was very impressed, though Jim and I were just waiting until the next development stage where it is handed a gun by the military and with a joke and a pretend smile guns us all down in a cute but leathal fashion - something quite untrustworthy about a robot so human like.
But with only two weeks left to Christmas, Jack is carefully weighing up how good or naughty he can be so that he still gets presents. On the way home we passed a freight train full of coal, ready for all the naughty children of Brisbane, we announced to Jack. There was a Hell of a lot of coal and as it sped past really fast Jim and I menioned how we spied Jacks name on one of the carraiges. Jack wasn't so sure but he did become ever so helpful for at least an hour
after our return home. Nothing like a 5 year old hedging his bets.....

We put up our christmas tree today
We put up our christmas tree today - Jack was thrilled and kept hugging us. They put the tree's up here on the 1st of December - which is wierd since I thought it was 12 days before. No matter.... He had fun looking at the tinsel and baubles. After it was set up - he got to see the (old and proper) Starwars on the telly. He got terribly excited at the space battles. He's such a lad.
