Hi Roger, It may or may not cool. I'm going to New Zealand, to the South Island, for Christmas and New Year, so it will be cooler than Sydney, even if the plains of Central Otago are brushed by hot winds. Here, at the moment all we seem to have are helicopters at night, police lockdowns of beaches, and the frisson of fear stirred up by radio shock jocks and the rest. Christmas in Dunedin seems a fine idea to me, and if it snowed it would be a fine thing (though highly unlikely). I will be with a gorgeous woman, so you never know. I don't know what New Zealanders call schooners but the equivalent of that and a few glasses of pinot noir from Central Otago will do fine. All the best for your celebrations up north, Jill On Sunday, December 18, 2005, at 11:50 AM, Roger Day wrote: > As I wrote that, I had qualms about it.
