OK, so this pic has a tad more realism about it than the previous one...Merry Xmas from Steve, Taylor, Chris and me. Cloudy. Rain. was again the order of the day and so much rain fell that our friends, John and Julie, who live in Lismore, weren't able to make Xmas dinner with us because (i) John and his son, Edward, had spent much of xmas eve digging trenches around their house to drain away the sheets of water that threatened their house, so were reluctant to leave their place and (ii) our creek flooded over the bridge by about 3.00pm so there was no access anyway.
But our friend Glen did manage to get through before the floodwaters cut us off, so we had a dinner of turkey (we cooked our own this year - in an oven bag, worked a treat and the skin even went crispy), pork loin (done in the slow cooker with a brown sugar and balsamic vinegar glaze) and ham - all beasts free range. Some wine, some laughs and a movie to end the night.
And now, this Boxing Day morning, its Cloudy. Rain.

Merry Christmas Kevin. Glad to see you made the most of it anyway. Hope you didn't get too much more flooding.
Merry Xmas to you, to, Louise! Hope you had a great day and was able to not work for a couple.
We are still copping the wet, so far this month we've had 337mm and I'd say we'll go past 350 well and truly...a very wet, overcst December indeed.
Did you head to Tronno for xmas?
Thanks Kevin. We're up Tronno right now actually. It's cloudy and wet here too, probably not as bad as at Orange- they've had floods there too. Hopefully not at our house though
