Busy as a beaver in a coal miners’ knock-shop
Thanks very much for all the birthday wishes; you are very kind.
Off to Sydney for work in the New Year. So I have to find a place to live etc. and sort out the Cesspit and Cesspit Redux up here.
My middle brother returns from six years in Europe next Monday. It’ll be great to see more of him and his fiance.
Best Man at a mate’s wedding in early Jan, so if anyone has some particularly off-colour jokes, please forward them on!
My Secret Santa present was sent, but there is a postal strike down here (nice timing you communist fucks - I hope the emergency ward goes on strike when you pricks have your inevitable drunken car accidents).
Best wishes to all of you and yours for Christmas. And may you all have a wonderful 2010 - I know that I plan on doing so!
Take care
