While were all tooling around with unusual trees and lights and making cookies and stuff the Paul's were in some difficulty getting their ski doo and komatik over to their winter spot.
Then the ice formed around the vessel but not thick enough to venture out on. With this warm spell plus the rain they must be thinking what in gods name is going on.

I am sure there would be contingencies in place. You can read about it here by using Google translate.

Still fogy with light drizzle and plus one this morning, not looking like clearing until tomorrow.
Hope our Granddaughter does not blaspheme too much and get kicked out of the airport in Goose Bay.

My mom has gone up to Brisbane to spend Christmas with here youngest brother and his wife. Wife likes a wee drop of booze but brother is into tea and bickies. I ordered a $50 gift certificate at one of the large liquor stores
[Dan Murphy’s to be precise] near by.
50 bucks gets you quite a lot down there as this brief from mom indicates.

Vodka Cruisers, xxxx light beer, two bottles bubbly and two “el cheapo”
clean skins and I even have change.
P.S. The money left over from Dans will be spent on tea bags for the T.T.

For 50 bucks here you would need another buck to purchase a slab of beer [24] with limited choice. Or you could go to the bar and get 10 beer [Canadian type] or 6 double shots with 2 bucks change.
