Please disregard any comment I may have in the previous post that may lead one to believe that this season is magical, beautiful or in any other way positive. Little more than weeks into winter and I'm well jack of it. In fact, I think it took a little under 48 hours for the season to sour for me. The walk to work the monday after the snowfall was a killer. The ensueing week involved me getting sick, almost slipping arse over tit everytime I set foot on the outside foodpath, and freezing my balls off on the journey to and from work everyday. Tis the season they say.

Aside from being cold - we have been busy preparing for this years installment of the Annual Swaton Christmas Talent show which will be performed next Friday (December 23rd, 2005) by the our kindergarten kids. Starring yours truly as the wise old octopus in the Rainbow fish, in which I will also be making my directorial debut. They take this sort of thing very seriously here and there has been a lot of work gone into it over the last few months. I'll let you all know how it goes.

The plus side to all this cold is that there is light at the end of the tunnel - Alwyn and I will be in sunny Thailand from christmas eve, where it is a sunny 27 degrees C today. oh yeah.

Til next time,
