Hi Scott. Hope you had a good xmas! I bet you won't ever have another one quite like this one. It sounds like it's pretty warm with you, it's pretty miserable over here! Nothing spectacular has happened at Pyments since you left. We had the Xmas party last week and that was a good laugh. Most of us had got a few on board but a few got well overloaded as usual. Good job they had a couple of days to get over it before xmas day!
New Year in Sydney ought to be pretty memorable mate so enjoy it. Happy New Year!

Hi Scott!
Finally had a chance to browse your pictures - it looks like you're having an absolutely brilliant time; we're so pleased for you. Christmas does sound like it'll be a mild one for us, are there any mountains near you if you need to feel the chill against your cheeks?!! We had christmas in Tunisia once and we broke a sweat just opening our prezzies on the balcony, it made a nice change but just didn't feel Christmassy!

We're off to see my Mum in Shropshire - it's her first without Dad, and then off to catch up with my sister and Auntie: Rock n Roll!

Keep on having a brilliant time and meet lots of interesting people, you'll probably see half of em in a shopping centre when you get back to Blighty; it really is quite a small planet sometimes!

All the best, matey,
love and Christmas wishes,

Tim and Nic x
