Nasu

Monday
2nd January, 2017

We drove to Nasu Outlet Shopping.
I needed to buy some new jeans. 






There was no snow, amazingly. 
However there were many people and the parking was busy. 



I got a flat tyre ! 
Yesterday my cousin died
Today a punctured tyre
Tomorrow ??

Sunday 

The first day of January, 2017. 

“Tonight’s December thirty-first,
Something is about to burst.
The clock is crouching, dark and small,
Like a time bomb in the hall.
Hark, it's midnight, children dear.
Duck! Here comes another year!” 

― Poet Ogden Nash (1902-1971)







We went to St. Peters and St. Pauls Church
in 
That City. 


Then to lunch at Chikako's parents' house.

Christmas Day, 2016

Sunday
Christmas Day
25th December, 2016 


Brisbane is currently on track for its coldest Christmas Day in at least 21 years.
A max of just 23.8c so far with a live temp of 21.6c and heavy cloud cover. 1995 saw a max of just 24.5c and it's been fairly warm ever since.
