I love how, when you click to enlarge it, you can really see how he is glaring at the photographer :)

What a cuddly christmas curmudgeon :)

Nobody can glare like Albert.  Unfortunately, it's so cute when he glares that he invites giving him a reason to do so.

We had a lovely fifth-of-an-inch of rain on Friday.  Real rain, not just drizzle. Which was just enough to get all of the fires under control and send many of the firefighters home for xmas.

And we have more rain, not merely showers, predicted for tonight and tomorrow - which will put the kabash on the traditional Aussie Xmas Barbie (bbq) for many families, but given the drought I doubt they'll be complaining (actually Aussies are world class complainers - not as bad as whinging Poms, mind you, but close).

That's great -- for you and the firefighters.
