December, 2025

It's been an exciting month for some of the family and a recovery time for a couple of others. Glad you're both doing fine John and Annette. Niece Kathy has been in Europe and mostly with new grandchild Nate in London. Congratulations Ashleigh and Clive.

Carol and Stan have had the excitement of a formal for granddaughter Millie who has finished school though not sure how Mum Julie or Dad Greg  are feeling after the associated parties.

Finally the sale of Kistelek has been finalaised  so only go to Oakey to visit with the Joneses now. Actually has a Christmas gathering of most of the old gang at the RSL Club in Oakey earlier in the week. Great to catch up with them so thanks for organizing  it Eslyn.

Nick's new shed has been constructed so he has somewhere safe to park his new vehicle.

Current plans have us at Burrum Heads for Christmas and Sue has her tree decorated already thanks to help from Mick. Not sure when January's edition of Kerkswhat  will be out as we're not due back here until mid-January

There are so many items available for acquisition these days from local shops or from anywhere in the world via the internet. Unfortunately most of these items have not been  tested in all manners and may result in major disasters for the owners, Among the worst of these is the misuse of phones and the charging of E bike batteries. Bacause it exists doesn't mean it is smart to use itThink, would it be wise  to use or do, or may the results be bad for you... Politicians don't seem to see the checking of such items as part of their jobs so who does take responsibility?

May you all have a great festive season  and catch up in the new year,

Cheers,

Merv
