Such a glorious sunset . . .

(photo taken from our verandah last night) after such a dull grey day!

Today is dull too but pleasantly cooler. I'm not sure whether it has been the heat &/or the aftermath of Christmas but I have been totally lethargic and unmotivated for days now. Jokes about Ross River Fever by friends attempting to humour me were not well-received so I'm pleased to feel a bit better in body and mind today.

We had a lovely Christmas and were able to spend time with our parents and partners and with our children and partners. We all had a good year although lots of things didn't get done (because the lists are endless!) There are no New Year resolutions but there is a consensus feeling that we should be positive and hopeful of good things for 2009. And for anyone who happens to read this: I wish you a healthy, peaceful and happy year.
