Yay! We did it; we survived Christmas! And what a lovely day it was, with family and friends. We had Christmas lunch with the family on the Broadwater, with a beautiful breeze blowing. We had the nephew staying a couple of nights; we visited friends, and went out for lunch with a few more. A fabulous time of it was had by all.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas/festive break also. I am wishing you the very best in 2025! I am planning to do more writing of short stories, more drawing, and more of the good stuff :=) I have had a tough couple of years health-wise, so I hope that is a past story now for me. Onwards and upwards, dear friends.

| the new Kangaroo Point pedestrian bridge over the Brisbane River |
We took our visiting nephew here last week. This bridge opened December 15, and in just 10 days, over 100,000+ people had been over it. It is an aesthetically pleasing, and marvellous piece of engineering. We plan to take all our guests here, so be warned :=)
