Hope to see lots of newbies showing up with the quits all shinny and new.

On a chilling note, the kid will be 18 next year! 

Heading to bed after driving all the drunk fruckers home.

A New Years Eve song masquerading as a chrissy song.... hurry up you mob an come join  us in 2023....

I used to play baseball, even tried Umpire younger kids....the thing about being the Umpire I did not like, everyone was always yelling at you...that was a strike, he was safe...on and on. Got tired of all the arguing/yelling and even some parents fighting lol. 

I just offer them my clicker and say the jobs all there's... usually shuts them up. I do the little kids and I do the adult men.... guess which players are better behaved 

Happy Gravy Day from the Great Southern Land...

The scenery here is the Melbourne I grew up in the 80s.

Confession: The first batch of ginger bickies I made... did not get eaten because when it said 4 teaspoons of fresh grated ginger I decided to use the jar ginger.....except it wasn't the ginger jar I took outa the fridge...nope it was the garlic jar..

I took a plate of these to the family Christmas picnic today....I couldn't have any because of the dairy (but I'm going to try a vegan version).... I drizzled half of them with lemon flavoured royal icing.... everyone loved them. Have just made a batch for work tomorrow, with passionfruit icing this time.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

I still play club Softball and compete in masters tournaments and I also umpire.

Covid saw me give up both Netball and Basketball. That 2 year break in competition we had meant my broken old body was not making a comeback.

I collect hobbies... so it depends on the time of year and my latest hyperfixation

Oorana is an aboriginal word meaning welcome.

Painting cups for the cousin's kids Chrissie presents.... watching chrissy movies...and searching the internet fir teabags that look like a goldfish is swimming in your tea.

⁹@Boo keep a stash in ya pocket and hand out to randoms you pass with a Merry Christmas. 

Bloke at works kids kinder was selling socks as a fundraiser.... bustard hit my desk first...half the box was gone just at me, but I don't have a fetish I promise... speaking of, why do blokes have better socks than shielas?

Even AccaDacca get into the chrissy spirit..

Aussie stereo types Christmas...

Now incase your wondering what happened to Perth and Darwin...that's the stereo type, they always get forgotten.

It's Chrissy Time..... time to play my 36hr+ chrissy play list.....but for you, my dear, dear friends I bring you the Aussie Chrissy Playlist...gunna start it off real classy like with Kate Cebrano and Jimmy Little... this song just reminds me of christmas.

Oh how exciting @Cbdave...full retirement. Are you marking the calendar yet.
