Merry Christmas Lads


...have a good one? Outragously, it wasn't sunny here today. It was scorching on Christmas Eve, I went for a swim down Balmoral Beach after work, but today, whilst still being warm, was overcast and rather uninspiring:

That put paid to my dreams of swimming and frying on the beach on Christmas Day, but fortunately I had a back up Aussie cliche to save the day: Shrimps on the barbie! I was humming Mary Mo to myself whilst I cooked an'all. We had oysters to start, then terrine, then chilli shrimp (technically they were prawns, which are bigger than shrimp, and the reason they're called shrimp in that ad is because of the yanks), then lamb chops. It was a nice, different Christmas dinner, though the telly was still shocking and frankly it was cool enough to have had turkey. Everyone's now gearing up for either the Boxing day sales, the boxing day movie releases (Despite the summer weather Boxing Day's a huge day for new film releases, I'm wanting to see No Country For Old Men), or the boxing day cricket. Hope you all had a cracker! Merry Christmas once again.


PS What's American Gangster like? Despite it being a Crowe film it doesn't come out here until the second week of January.

christmas is brilliant. I'm now back at work, which is less brilliant. American Gangster is good, but is essentially a poor man's version of the wire. I'd treat yourself to some box sets instead.
