After last year's little incident

....which can be read about here, this year's cake contains a suitable warning.
It would also probably squish them if they tried pulling it down - it weighs 8kg at least.

So once we've finished grubbing up Christmas and eating all the food, we'll let the rest of you have the crumbs.

Merry Christmas!/Frithmas/Solstice/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Holidays/FUD TIEM!

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas ...

... but not like this!

The first wave of stones were about 2cm across and regularly round and haloed. The second wave of larger ones were aggregates that measured up to 4cm.

Melbourne Christmas is guaranteed to be unpredictable.

And then there was flooding.

I was trying to take da_norvegicus and lokicarbis over to crazyjane13's for a bit of Bah Humbug.

But we never made it, and under here are the reasons why.
( Warning - picture heavy )

I probably shouldn't have gone through a couple of the puddles on the roads, but I stand by my decision to head home. We're all safe, and the only regret is not making it to crazyjane13's to get Humbug Hugs.
