Thanks for the kind wishes everyone.

Looks like winter has not left the "shakey isles" yet.
Cold front working its way up the country, snow & hail to most southern hills.
Wind gusts to 55kmh
Received a radio controlled helicopter today, a Esky Belt CP V2.
What a little beauty. Just been navigating around the garage earlier, much to the cats disgust.
Winter has not been kind in my part of the country, hopefully spring will be clearer.
