OK I Think!

I would prefer cooler than Perth Expected Temp too!!!!

It looks luvverly Jim.

Same in Sydney - must be typical of the South-Eastern states this year! The weather has been all over the place these last two weeks. Alternating between baking heat and cool and wet. Last Thursday I was wearing a swimsuit all day and was still too hot to move. On Friday I put on long sleeves More...

Looking very jolly, Jim!

Hi Jane! Great looking recipe ... but I don't think I can be bothered doing the metric conversion! Maybe another day! I know, I know - it's very easy to do on the WWW these days. I am just too mellow already! Happy holidays all!

Good morning all. Great avatar Jim! Very festive.
We're just in the middle of a storm here, not a scary one but keeping temps down. Our Christmas Day temp is expected to be 30degC - earlier forecast to be 32C. Still may be Air-Con weather - if I've got 10 people for Christmas dinner, I More...

You look like an adorable, beach boy Santa, Jim!

... but the other Gail leaves a little to be desired ...

2009-12-23 Hello my little lovelies thank you so much for all the birthday wishes, Christmas and New Year Greetings.



Merry Christmas & The Happiest New Year To You ALL.



I have just been reading some pages and comment under photos, I have laughed, cried More...

Merry Christmas everyone. I am going to my sons house tomorrow and won't be back until after xmas. If I never get back Happy New Year. ( I think they will try to kill me with kindness. Would it be outrageous to throw a temper tantrum?)

Oh, my sides, they hurt so much from the laughing...good one Judy, you're a card!

Love your new avatar Jim! I think if you grew a long beard you might be able to get a job at the mall next year!!

I gave up on hot Christmas dinners some years ago, although I haven't been able to break the hot Christmas pudding habit. This year we had a "Christmas in July" celebration with all the traditional foods, a few decorations and a Kris Kringle exchange of silly gifts ($5 max.) There were 30 of us and we had a ball. Now the grandkids are hoping it will become an annual event.

Howdy all, A long break for me away from the site - just too busy in my neck of the woods.
Hope you are all gee'd up for Christmas. I wonder each year, how we justify the excessive spending and yet every year find Christmas lasting well into February's pay cheques.
If I don't get back on before, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! STAY SAFE, AND GIVE YOUR HEART TO LOVE ONLY.

42 degrees in Strath - good swimming weather. Actually, not much good for anything else.

A few years back, I weighed (ahem) more, and lived in Chicagoland. One November it was bitterly cold and I quit shaving, wanting to keep the wind off my face.

In college my beard had been bright red, but to my surprise, sometime since it had gone white!

When the fourth stranger's child asked me if I was Santa, I decided to A) Lose weight and B) Shave come spring.

Elsie, nice to see you again! Hope all you folks in the hot, hot areas of the world manage to have a good Christmas despite the sweltering temperatures.
Judy, love your Christmas in July idea. Sounds like a tradition worth keeping. I've lost track - how many grandkids for you?

ROFL Jim, cute avatar!

Well I am working tomorrow and will heading off Chrissy morning on my boat for two relaxing weeks.
Wishing all my cyber friends a very Merry Christmas and hope all your dreams come true, and to those I will miss.

Broni, hope your Christmas & your 2 week holiday are wonderful. Relax & enjoy your time off - see you in 2010!

I have made a lot of good friends during my four or five years associated with this site and many of you have sent personal Seasons Greetings to Anne and me. But it is now becoming clear that I will not have time to return the compliment. This afternoon I have a doctor's appointment and the next More...

'my' you old fool, not 'me'.

Jane, wanted to say thanks for posting the cookie recipe today. I have been feeling guilty for not doing ANY baking this year, especially while so many other Sudokuists have reported multiple sessions in the kitchen! I needed something new & exciting to inspire me & your recipe did it. I More...

Thanks Kathy, and all those that have posted on my page, like Ian not enough time to return the compliment but I do appeciate what a wongerful site this is.
Forgot to metion Bella is coming with me, two walks a day and have me 24/7, she is in doggy heaven.

Its been a long time even though I dont post as often I pop in sometimes for a quick read,
To all the Sudoku Family,
Merry Xmas to you and your families and may the New Year be filled with happiness and health,
'Tis the season to wrap the world in joy and love
best wishes.

Kathy, the Christmas in July concept is quite popular in southern parts of Australia, probably because so many of us are descendants of northern hemispherers (?) who want to celebrate Christmas in a traditional manner, but have learned a bit of commonsense about that in our conditions. It's also a good way to bring a bit of cheer into a bleak time of year. Oh - and I have 11 grandchildren!

May I follow your lead, Ian, & offer the same wishes back to you & so many other good people here in Sudokuland. Hope you & Anne enjoy your time at your daughter's & have safe travels with your friends after that.

Merry Christmas to ALL and to all a good night. And a very , too!!

Hehe! Safe travels 'you old fool' send my love to Anne.

I would also like to wish one and all a very Happy Christmas with friends and loved ones and the very best of wishes for health and happiness for 2010.
Also seasons greatings to those with other celebrations.
Safe travels for all those travelling during this festive season.

Well, I posted the last of my "Best of 2009" photos.

In all honesty, none of these newest six pics is my "Best of 2009," I think that honor goes to the one of the sea turtle laying her eggs.

Photos serve many purposes; a friend said "All they are is a More...

We look forward to the next installments of terrific photos Ian!

Since it appears that many of our number are signing off for the Holidays, let me, too, wish you all a Blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year! You are all very special people, and I am honored that you share a little piece of my life.

Jim you look so cute in your Santa hat... Sorry...Hello everyone, Judy/B I am like you our family used to alway have the traditional Xmas dinner until the year it was my turn and I almost fainted from the heat with 22 people around the table I put my foot down and told them that we live in Australia not England and from now on it would be a cold dinner at my place my children have followed suit.

Colo Jim, thanks for the giggle! What a creative mind to think that up!

Jim's comments reminded me of another old email joke: the four stages of Santa Claus ...

Stage 1: You believe in Santa Claus
Stage 2: You don't believe in Santa Claus
Stage 3: You are Santa Claus
Stage 4: You look like Santa Claus

I was going to post this an hour ago but we had a power outage!

Not having much luck uploading this as a youTube on my page, but here is the link

for Boney M's "When a Child Is Born".

So Kate? Which stage is Jim at?

Wow, how to scare you all away!!!

Did shower twice today it was so hot!
