I nearly wished you a happy big fat Greek Christmas yesterday but opted for discretion (unsure how the big fat bit is received by real Greeks)🤣. Good thing there are no roof leaks and everyone us sated. Now for the Leftovers....at least you don't have to face turkey meat for a week.
I resemble that picture lol. I will cross all fingers that you do not get any leaks. Boxing day was extremely hot. Lots of fires are now raging out of control. Thankfully today is much cooler.
lol I have a daughter in law who looks…..just like that (even has the extra chin). So much cooler today - and as Angela mentioned out of control fires in other parts of the state. Places that were burnt out this time last year 🙁 Anniversaries…..50yrs since Cyclone Tracy 1974 - 20yrs since the Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004
