Ho ho ho you all!!!
Yep, 2011 will soon be but a faint memory of what was, should’ve or could’ve been.
Interesting it has been to say the very least. Whilst sharks attack container locating devices, illegal hunters (manslaughterers as a result of their illegal activity!) get out of jail after less than a year, we’re all huddling up, shaken by the fact that we’ve had the same temperatures as Central Sweden!!
But, rest assured, winter has kicked in- finally! I can report snowfall from both Sweden, Switzerland as well as Hakuba in Japan! Hopefully we can get the speedos out and get a bit of sun on our pale hides.
Interesting is also, that modern day activists (for the lack of a better word) demand electricity- (all the while showing some willingness to pay for it???????) to the site of their protest????? with the threat of “hooking it up themselves if it isn’t done by whatevero’clock????? If that doesn’t put a smile on your dial!!! That’s like going on hungerstrike with a good supply of isotonic beverage and vitamin pills….
On the up-note; some of us where fortunate enough to check out a family of Orcas around Wedge Point and beyond, the other day. Amazingly enough, the same family that I “met” for the first time around 10-11 years ago! Some of them must have grown up to be at least reasonably large young animals. Didn’t recognise any of them!
A special moment, truly. Seeing them nimbly pick up a stingray, all the while avoiding barb as well as the liver…….clever!
Anyway, I’m running out of muse here so I’ll go straight for the kill now.
Wednesday 21st of December 8:30pm Hera Hjartardottir with Jed Parsons

Thursday 29th of December for the last show of the year
Mundi; the world jazz/music band of multi-instrumentalists around Tamara Smith!! That’s about 4 nights worth of power packed in to one show

So, that may well represent the last newsletter of the year! We will stay at home for the evening of the 24th as well as the entire day of the 25th of December! We might even sneak in a day out with the crew tomorrow night, weather permitting!!
Thanks for the year, folks
