Got myself an Atik 314L+ CCD OSC Camera last week, sorta kinda a Christmas present.....oh and the accompanying band of clouds and rain for the next 2 weeks it seems....

Lets just say the www.bom.gov.au site has been hammered over the last few days as I chant "Cleeeeeeeewds disappeeeeeeaaaarrrrrr"

Other than that, some yummy shortbread, a wine cooler and bottle of Moscato, and Mad Men Series 1-3 on DVD from the family and out-laws.



Cheers

Chris

Socks & smellies, and an absolute drenching from the grandkids in a seriously one-sided water pistol fight.

Wife told me I'd have to wait for my Christmas present from her. So I waited, all excitedly...

Then today came, and we went Boxing Day sale shopping, and she bought me my presents.

I think I was thinking elsewhere.

Here's my enormous 3" Wynne corrector and TS Giant OAG to suit as well as an almost impossible to get, bottle of Sabra, an Israeli made chocolate and orange liqueur.
I also got a 7 draw tool box on wheels and the boy got me a turntable for all those classic LP's I own.

Been working away, so today and tomorrow are my Xmas.

But no doubt it will the the usual- chocolates, 1.5-2kgs on my guts, heartburn and the Aussies winning the cricket!!!!

Two copies of Astronomy 2013 Australia: your guide to the night sky.

Clearly, my family think I'm interested in astronomy. Where'd they get that idea.
