As usual I joined my friends for a walk in the forest in the morning of 31 Dec. It was overcast and it had started to rain by the time we got to the picnic grounds. We sat in the weather shed for a while and contemplated whether we should push on or go home. Soon the rain eased and we continued our walk. I wasn't feeling the best and had a tummy ache so half way round our circuit, I took a short cut home.

THE WORST NEW YEAR'S EVE EVER
Wednesday, December 30, 2020
AT LAST THE KIDS CAN VISIT
After nearly 12 months we are able to have our kids visit from Sydney. Travel between states was stopped during the Covid outbreak in Australia, but after months of tough restrictions we have almost got it under control. So at last our daughter and son in law from Sydney were allowed to cross the border with a border pass saying they had been out of greater Sydney for at least two weeks. So they decided to drive the 1000 km to Brisbane and holiday in rural towns and National Parks on the way for two weeks.
It was so good to see them again. The first thing they did was wash their new car.

LIGHTING UP
Every year we have a Lighting Up Night in December, where the residents turn on their Christmas lights and invite friends and family to walk around the village and enjoy the lights. Afterwards, they are invited to have drinks together in the community centre and be entertained with Christmas Carols from the Elements Singers. Let me take you for a walk around our village at night.
