Happy New Year!

The build up to New Year's Eve (and the associated parties and get-togethers for families and friends) is really evident now!  Here in Australia it's literally New Year's Eve Day, and many small parties are already beginning!  Families are meeting up with each other for a quick snack at local cafes and restaurants while others are preparing the BBQ in the back garden for later in the day.

We were "promised' temperatures up around the 40 degrees, although while it's humid outdoors, there could also be the possibility of thunder storms later. 

So not let's waste time.   Here's our wish to everyone - Happy New Year!   May all your dreams come true, may your goals be achieved, and may you have a happy, safe, contented and happy New Year to follow.   These wishes are expressed to all, but especially to those many thousands of people in Queensland who have been evacuated from their homes as a consequence of devastating floodwaters which have swallowed whole towns in their wake.  We're thinking of you, most of us are doing our little bit to send you assistance, through finance, food and necessary daily needs;  we know it's not enough, but you are our brothers and sisters and we care about you.  Hang in there;  keep hope alive, and don't give in.   The New Year is around the corner, and this could bring you all new opportunities of positiveness and optimism.
