I’m hoping the Christmas card I sent you arrives soon! Sorry it’s late, we can blame Australia Post. It’s a snow-themed winter Christmas scene that folds out - I thought it might look good in the background of Christmas town :)
We’re having a heatwave here, it’s currently 98.6 degrees. I’m in the airconditioning, drinking plenty of water.
Sending love xx
