I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

 For a new PC,

Centre of my universe,

I abandon all.

This Christmas was HOT and things do not look to be improving greatly over the next week.  Here are our temperatures over the Christmas week:

Christmas Day  -  42.8 degrees
Boxing Day  -  43.5 degrees
27-12-21  -  41.0 degrees
28-12-21  -  40.7 degrees
29-12-21  -  38.0 degrees

. . . and it is about to start heating up again.

However we were lucky  -  my air conditioning is very efficient.  A fairly large swath of Perth had no electricity at all for about four days; no cooling: no refrigerator: no hot water: no lighting: no fans . . . it must have been a nightmare for those poor people.

The family all came around here for lunch and afterwards we played a very funny, very rude game with black and white cards.  I do not know the name but anyone who has played it probably knows what I am on about.

We are back in lock-down of a sort:  we have to put on masks to even walk out of our Apartment doors, use the tracking App and keep our masks on in company so the three of us who attended the knitting group today all wore masks for the duration and compared the pros and cons of the ones we were wearing.

I have been triple vaccinated so I have done all I can and will get a fourth one if given the opportunity.  D1 has a cold but two rapid antigen tests have come back negative so hopefully they are accurate as she lives in New South Wales where things are not good.

The Limerick:-

The Limerick is callous and crude,
Its morals distressingly lewd.
It's not worth the reading
By persons of breeding;
It's designed for the vulgar and rude.
