Woohoo last day at work before a Christmas Break!

Yeh! Only half a day to go before we shut down the office for a Christmas Break. One or two important things to get done before lunch and then we will shut down and take a long lunch and don't go back until the new year.

The weather has been typically tropical - hot and humid. We haven't had a lot of rain as its too early in the season for the rain to start so lunch may be an indoor affair. Love that aircon this time of year!

We gave the team at work their Christmas presents today - hampers full of Christmas treats. The hampers were beautifully prepared and presented by a local lady here in Cairns. She always creates nice packages. The girls at work also gave Robert and I gifts in return - I have a nice shiny new Pandora bead for my collection and Robert received a Trans Am souvenir number plate and an 8 track to play in our '76 TA.

Matty (my son) phoned me today to let me know that his Christmas gifts made it to him in the mail. He has lined up vacation work to commence in January and is pretty excited about it. This will be his first job in his professional field (electrical engineering) and its our understanding that he will be working on a great project that links in with his current interests at university (satellite technology). He also likes the idea that his rate of pay will be more than he could earn in retail!

Life is good.
