It’s Santa’n’Summer time so I’m outa here for a few weeks. I’ll catch up with you all in the new year. Here’s a swan-song:
Chestnuts explode in the microwave
Jack Frost dripping down your nose
Yuletide carols being murdered by choirs
And lolcats dressed as Eskimos
Everybody knows
That holly-pricks cause blood to flow
(so do gropes at mistletoe)
From Christmas in Oz as we bask on the beach
Seasons goodwill to you.
With apologies to Mel Torme
In my favorite guise at Kindergarten this week lapping up the love 😀
Fugitive Fragments

Reblogged this on Tales of Unwise Paths.
Sitting with blue fingers while my Australian Mum told us that Ozzies enjoyed a full Xmas dinner in the middle of their summer with the air temp only slightly less than the turkey. Nope. Blue nose, blue ears and chilblains I prefer it the way we do it. But, thanks for the thought . May I reblog?
The only thing your mum left out was the prawns on the BBQ! And lots and lots of cold beer. Thank you once more for the reblog 🙂
Many thanks. 🙂
Have a lovely sunny Christmas Mike, and hopefully no exploding chestnuts!! 😀
Thank you Lizzie and I reciprocate your good wishes – between you and me I still miss the snow after all these years down-under (exploding snowballs are more my style 😀 xo
And a very Merry Christmas to you too 🙂

Ho Ho Ho Jane agus Beannachtí lá Feile Nollaig duitsa ☀️🏄🍦😎

Ha.. I think your Christmas is closer to the real truth… and thank you for the reminder of not using the microwave for chestnuts.. 🙂 Have a great holiday on the beach.. and don’t feel sorry for us in the far north who have not even been blessed with snow.
The weather is brought to you today by Climate Change and cookery tips by Basil Fawlty. Sorry to hear your reindeer isn’t getting his seasonal exercise Björn 😀
