      Yes, it’s been very wet here. Great if you are a fish. But I hear Christmas is set to be cold and dry, so I’m looking forward to getting plenty of walking done.

      Merry Christmas to you and the family, Geoff. I can’t wait to see how you decorate your new pad next Christmas.

        That is one of those last great challenges, like standing on one leg and closing you eyes or remembering where I parked the car.
