4 more rifles for the collection (2 exported from the USA) - all approved within 3 days after submitting the paperwork

Biggest present for me was our 4 year old racing in telling me that Santa had been and left her presents... she hadn't even opened them (she gets her self restraint from her mother!). BIG eyes "Daddy, Daddy, Santa left me presents! Come see!"

Good sunburn today from spending Xmas on the beach with family.

I ended up with one of these RC helicopters. Never really been into RC though. Its a nice thing but I think it may have a short life. Gravity will proabably win.

My wife had a astrophoto framed for me.

I've had a picture of the "Pillars of Creation" in NB for about 10 years and haven't got around to framing it. It's a 35" x 35" print which now hangs in the Atrium and looks awesome.

I'll have to go and find something else for the other side to balance it all out. I thinking either the Pleiades or Eta Carinae nebula.

Cheers
