First, plenty of the best of the season to one and all. Here's to lots of excessive eating and drinking, the bare minimum of family spats and a complete ban on "I wish it could be Christmas every day."
It still feels wrong (no, not the Wizzard track. Well, that too, obviously) to be celebrating Christmas when it's 28c outside. But I'm doing my best. Once the stockings are full and the kids are in the full throws of a feeding frenzy under the tree, I'm sure I'll feel the gnarly hand of Christmas Present upon my jaded, cynical shoulders. Can one have cynical shoulders?
Idle ponderings. I apologise in advance, but a drop in barometric pressure has caused a flare-up on the pain front which is doing battle with a little too much Tramadol for incisive observation.
Idle ponderings I have on a daily basis, but the one that sits foremost in my mind came while we were driving up to the Illawarra Fly. Looking at the power lines that stretched up the mountain, I got to wondering why we don't incorporate cable cars into the power lines. Now, obviously, there would have to be a trampoline embarkation/dismount system to eliminate the risk of earthing the lines and frying everyone on the national grid, but I see this as just details...
On that hearty note, I wish you all a fabulous Christmas and a very happy 2010.
