  1. A lovely somertime Christmas down under. Congratulations on the new addition to the family. That’s a great tree. We have never had a traditional Christmas tree in over 40 years of marriage. Looks like auntie KΓ‘ra went over to the wild side. Excellent songs for the post.

    1. Thanks, Timothy πŸ™ Young Finn
      is following a family tradition of
      tipping the scales as a heavyweight
      championship baby πŸ‘ΆπŸ†πŸ˜Ž
      Auntie KΓ‘ra is also sticking to a
      long cherished family tradition by
      spending some hard time in the
      county jail πŸ€”πŸ•ΆοΈ

      1. It all seems very Australian. Champion babies and babes in the clink to be humbled for 30 days. I just hope your jails are more civilized than ours. I was in the super max high-security prison a few weeks ago. Had you heard of the prison riots in 1980 at the NM State Penitentiary? The worst prison riots in US history. I was in one of the replacement facilities. Not a nice place to end up in for long-term incarceration.

      2. Johnny Cash should’ve written a song
        about that! Perhaps even ‘Ten Years In
        A Syrian Prison’ 🎢 Or ‘Alcatraz And All
        That Jazz ~ The Musical’ ? πŸ€”πŸ•ΆοΈ
        The British did colonize Australia as a
        convict day care centre, since all their
        prisons were full to the brim. Little
        did they realise that Australia is a
        Gangsta Paradise 😎

      I don’t like to hear the word ‘Grandfather’
      in reference to myself (as I’m much too
      young, of course 😎), but I’m having to

      1. Twice for me. I requested “Grammy” (I dreamed of winning one as a young songwriter) but they’ve shortened it to Gram Gram. ^^ Lovely pics, too, I meant to say. You have a beautiful family.

      A Scottish (patriarchal) proverb …
      “You can never have too many
      sons to carry on the family name.
      Whereas daughters will send you
      broke and drive you insane.”πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ•ΆοΈ
      But only a politically incorrect
      misogynist would bother to say that 😎

        I have four sons, no daughter.
        An old local saying…
        β€œ A son is a son until he gets a wife
        A daughter is a daughter for life.”
        But whoever quoted that saying is right.

      I’ll let you in on a family secret,
      Auntie Kara was adopted πŸ€«πŸ•ΆοΈ
      So fortunately she shares none

  16. I spent a fair few Christmas’s in Oz in the past. I used to quite like it there as it’s not done to death like it is here. Also nice to wear shorts, tee shirt and flip-flops in December (thongs being something else to a Pom!)

    1. It’s hitting 40Β° Celcius outside today, so
      I’m now dreaming of a white Christmas❄️
      Remembering my trip to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in
      the summertime, and people complaining
      that the temperature had got to 20Β°+ ⬆️ πŸ₯΅
      I guess a heatwave, like a thong, is in the

      1. I remember one trip to Auckland where I arrived on a ‘a hot day’ @ 21 degrees and the airport transfer bus driver had the AC on full blast. In the UK I just open the friggin’ window if I’m hot ffs! FYI I did 8 years in Kuwait, one of the hottest places on Earth with midsummer temps high 40’s / low 50’s. I spent more than half my 70+ years in hot places. My ideal UK temp is about 28 degrees – no AC required with shorts, tee shirt and flip-flops / thongs mandatory.

      2. I did my time in the south of the South
        Island … but as a freeman. Invercargill,
        in New Zealand, is the place where sea
        monsters go to die and backpackers
        surrender all hope of a warm salvation πŸ₯ΆπŸ•ΆοΈ

  21. You look so young, David, you just don’t age, my friend. The baby is so precious, what a wonderful Christmas with a new baby, and I love the music. We were jamming out with the “The Old Man Down The Road”. I haven’t heard that song in years, and we both knew it. Great tree and it looked like a wonderful gathering of family. Big hugs to you and the family my friend, many blessings. Joni

        “May He grant you out of the riches of His glory,
        to be strengthened and spiritually energized
        with power through His Spirit in your inner self,
        [indwelling your innermost being and
        personality], so that Christ may dwell in your
        hearts through your faith. And may you, having
        been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in
        love, be fully capable of comprehending with
        all the saints (God’s people) the width and
        length and height and depth of His love [fully
        experiencing that amazing, endless love];
        and [that you may come] to know [practically,
        through personal experience] the love of Christ
        which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without
        experience], that you may be filled up
        [throughout your being] to all the fullness of
        God [so that you may have the richest
        experience of God’s presence in your lives,
        completely filled and flooded with God
        Himself]”.~ Ephesians 3:16-19 Amplified
