Merry Christmas Chuck

Hiya BetterMost Friends!


Hope everyone had a great Christmas.  I did!

I even got to spend Sunday doing nothing but relaxing!  :)

And now, the countdown to New Year begins.   I'll be out with some of the bowlers that night, should be fun.

Hiya BetterMost Friends!


How is everyone doing today?

Roads were pretty quiet today, got to work 30 minutes earlier than usual.  ::)

I picked up the stuff I need to make my stromboli/pepperoni bread for  the New Year's Eve party I'm invited to.

I'm the only one in my corner of the office today!  Everyone else is off, so I hope to be able to get all my filing done.

well, it's not done, but there's a big chunk taken out of it.

Am at the airport on my way back home, TBTG
Surprised Sydney airport no longer blocks Bettermost. Never did block DCF.
It was not too hot, a few warm eveings but 2 cold changes went through with some rainy cool days so did not suffer too much.
Dunedin has been warm with no rain until today. Hope my strawberry plants have not died like last year. I did move the pot into the shade before I left.
A 3 hour flight to Christchurch with Emirates, 2 hour 40 minute wait then an hour flight to Dunedin on an Air New Zeland turboprop. Then have booked the shuttle home. Should be home by 7.30pm but I lose 2 hours so only 5.30pm Sydney time. Now 8.30am.

Hiya BetterMost Friends!


Happy hump day!

Hope everyone is doing well here today!

Currently sitting in my cubicle alone, and enjoying the quiet.  :)

Lite FM has stopped playing Christmas music 24/7, however, they are mixing holiday music in with the usual pop music.  Stuff like Winter Wonderland and Jingle Bells, nothing specific about Christmas, however,

Right now, they're playing Dan Fogelberg's "Same Auld Lang Syne".   From Wikipedia....

"Same Old Lang Syne" is a song written and sung by Dan Fogelberg released as a single in 1980. It was also included on his 1981 album The Innocent Age. The song is a narrative ballad told in the first person and tells the story of two long-ago romantic interests meeting by chance in a grocery store on Christmas Eve. The song peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and is now frequently played during the holiday season and alongside traditional Christmas songs.  The melody is based on the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky and ends with a soprano saxophone solo by Michael Brecker based on the melody from the original "Auld Lang Syne".

"Same Old Lang Syne" is frequently played on radio stations during the American holiday season. The song begins mentioning Christmas Eve and ends with the acknowledgment of snow, commonly associated with the Christmas holiday. Apart from the initial (and final) reference, there is no further association with the holiday or holiday season. However, since the song's release, both the reference in the title and the musical quote of "Auld Lang Syne" (traditionally sung on New Year's Eve) as the epilogue have encouraged the song's popularity during December.

Safe travels, Brian!  I'm sure you'll be glad to be home!
