Happy New Year to all in the Antipodes
I’m currently with my mum, chatting on FaceTime with my cousins in Queensland and New South Wales.
It’s one of the great things about the internet😊
How’s Sues arm doing @Pete_the_painter ?

She’s doing as well as expected, think she’s enjoying watching me do the things I use to take for granted. I have a renewed appreciation for carers. 
Good to see you back as well.

I’d give you a like but I don’t have any as apparently I’m not trustworthy.

My builder told me this evening that I’m barred from doing anything other than picking colours.
How good does Sydney look.

Ah Bruss, they have arrived. Most is gone here. We’ve a few spare but kid 1 will take them to his friends tonight.
These were warm when delivered. Delicious. Unfortunately Mrs Bruss only likes the apple rings so I will have to manfully struggle through the rest today and tomorrow.
