It’s probably been one of the coldest christmases in Melbourne/Victoria in a long time with the temperature not even reaching 15′C, and clouds and rain, which almost made it feel more like christmas for me…

We have upgraded our technology section this year: I gave Bec and iPod nano and we got money towards a new digital camera which I bought today on the Boxing day sales. We got the new Panasonic-TZ1 and after playing with it for a while today it seems really good and easy to use so hopefully we’ll get a lot of great pictures from Africa to show you all. It’s a fairly small camera with 10x optical zoom, which was the part I really liked, and it also takes descent movies of unlimited lenght and with zoom! I might give you a better review when we get home if I can be bothered

update 27/12
Some parts of Australia actually had a white christmas!!! In the victorian skifields snow fell on both christmas day and boxing day with around 10cm of snow on the ground in some places (more than in many areas of Sweden this year…)

I’ve also added some photos from christmas eave in the Photos section
