Happy New Year

Not sure if I'm going to be awake at midnight, so, thought I'd get in first and wish everyone a Happy New Year.

All the best in health and happiness.

Let's hope that La Niņa decides to take a hike and leaves us with pristine clear skies on new Moon weekends. Like we used to.

A Happy New Year to everyone! Over here it's 2012 now, and H I'll definitely join you in your wish for some better weather - it's been miserable here too for a while now and it doesn't look too promising next week either.
Oh, now I come to think of it, I did pay my 10% deposit for a QSI 683wsg just before Christmas! Soooorry

Fast talking

Amused by an article that appears in the online edition of the Sydney Morning
Herald as at 12:50am 1 Jan 2012. The article title reads "Year of the Mouth:
Stars who said too much in 2012".

They must have been doing some pretty fast talking!
