Hi guys!!

Just wanted to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hope all is well with yourself and that Santa is good to you!

Everything is good here - we're spending xmas in the caravan park, i've got to work most of it and Rob's got loads of hours over the next couple of days in the bar. Vicki and Peter have loads of family and friends down for xmas so getting to know a lot of great people! Also know a lot of the folk staying in the park over xmas, the place is fully booked for a month! There is also a xmas day ritual here - an early morning surf! I've already been given a surf board!!! Very scared! I'm also going to be extra carefull with what i'll be eating - not going to be tricked into thinking my steak is beef when, in fact, it's kangeroo again! New years should be good - met a guy through vicki whose having a big party at his house which is set in amongst 6 acres of Aus bush!! Should be good though!

As Vicki has family down, Rob and I have moved out into the campervan for the first time! Going well so far, just a bit crowded with all my clothes!! Van seems to be running well since we got it back from garage - timing belt broke last week and cost us over $1020 to fix! Not good! At least it happened now and not in the middle of a desert!

Anyway, i have to go! Sorry this is such a short msg but my beer is getting cold - 32 degrees today, and forecast 36 degrees on xmas day! Plus, i've been talked into singing christmas carols in the park (poor people) so going to need a lot more beers beforehand! Fair dinkum!

missing you all loads - will be thinking about you!

have a great one!

love Nikki xxxxxx
