I hope your Christmas was meaningful and relaxed. Ours was. I like the look of your Mango icecream recipe Chel. Hopefully there will still be mangoes around when we get home soon so I will give it a go. Happy New Year to you.

I so agree with your comments in this post; we really have it good here but many people don't realise it. And I especially cringe when I see the mountain of toys and gadgets that so many children receive now. Half the time they don't know who actually gave which gift/s as they received so many. Your daughter is to be commended for her stance on materialism.

No internet problems here thankfully but I did think we might lose power yesterday during those storms as they were getting a bit wild but no hail here thankfully. Hope all was well at your place.

I know some places in Toowoomba were effected as well. So, I'm relieved today, to be able to FINALLY extend the Christmas wishes, albeit, belatedly.

We had a so-called supercell come through here, but the mountain divides the storms up so the villages get the brunt and we only had the heavy rain and lightning coming from all directions....which was scary enough.

We are also not into the materialism of the season, and with family spread far and wide it's a low key couple of days for us. Thoughts are with all of those unfortunate folks in war affected countries and for those living in poverty. Our Christmas donation, in lieu of buying gifts for each other, will make a small difference to someone far away. Inviting homeless, or lonely, or newly arrived refugees to our home for Christmas lunch is the way we like to share the day. And a 'Nanna nap" in the afternoon is mandatory! Wishing you and the CEO a wonderfully happy and safe Christmas day.
