Happy Hols (is that generic enough (though generic might in itself might displease those who insist on specificity--you can't please everyone), from sunny Florida, where the only the only white Christmas we will get is from the white sand underfoot--even far inland.

Here's to MMBasic--the gift that keeps giving.

Brrrr....
I've just been outside. About 4°C but a 16mph (31mph gusts) wind is pulling the apparent temperature down to around -1°C. Not pleasant. No snow expected as it's too dry.

Geoff's side of Australia had a warm 40+ °C for Christmas and dangerous fires.
Here, I can look out the window to see the snow on the hills.
1.5°C min overnight last night.
At least the 50+kM/h wind has dropped so looking like a nice day for boxing day.
I will be able to poke my head outside for a change.

Ho Ho to all

Yes, for us Christmas day was 41°C. It got a little cooler in the late afternoon, so we took an ice-cold bottle of wine down to the riverbank to watch the sunset.

Mery Christmas everyone.

I had thunder/lightning and heavy hail-storms for my Christmas afternoon. About 15°C for me. Such a contrast!

It has warmed up today though, which is nice.
My grass is at Jurassic Park height, so I have to get that cut!!!
Can never get enough sunshine and warmth, to dry it out enough to cut it, so I might just have to do a wet cut, but it's messy - wet grass sticks to everything.
