Cyclone season starts early

As reported on Over the Falls, the whirlwind that is Cyclone Santa continues to track north over Oz. Here at Chateau Fuzzy, a half dozen friends gathered together to shelter from its onslaught. We saw first hand the wreckage it wrought. To wit, one dismembered turkey, ham, pudding ... and 25 bottles of wine. (Honest, we don't know how that last bit happened. Might have had something to do with the fact our christmas lunch ended up going for 11 hours. A record, even for us :-) ).

Fortunately, we were still in high spirits this morning, for our day on the harbour to watch the Sydney-Hobart start. And it was fan-bloody-tastic! Nothing like watching 100 yatchs tack madly to and fro in a box the size of a few football fields, and then bang! race on! If you haven't seen it before - do it.
