We will be in Sydney for Christmas with family from early Thursday morning until about New Year's Eve. Apart from my birthday on Jan 7 (60th - yahoo!!) a get together sounds great. Back at work on Jan 10. Moon dates for 2011 are here: http://museumvictoria.com.au/planetarium/discoverycentre/moon-phases/moon-phases-2011/ so around the 4th or so sounds good. I suppose it all depends on the antics of that Spanish witch La Nina ... here's hoping. Everyone have a great Christmas season and KEEP SAFE!!! Cheers, Paul. _____ From: corona_australis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: nswnra@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [nswnra] So Happy Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2010 07:34:18 +1100 I can't believe how lucky we are!!!
