<description>Hello ... once again it’s time for my (5th) annual Xmas Newsletter.&#13;&#13;So what have I been up to this year you ask?&#13;&#13;Highlights include the annual Whistler skiing trip (with real life near death experiences)!  Racking up the airmiles working in Melbourne.  Yet another half marathon!  A trip back to Blighty for the usual madness and mayhem.  A few days in Hong Kong.  And now back in Sydney preparing to move down to Melbourne next year!&#13;&#13;If you’re interested to see and read more click on the picture links below ... go on you know you want to!  (In case you’re confused - the seasons are Australian seasons)!&#13;&#13;Have a great Xmas and a happy New Year!&#13;&#13;Cheers ... Charlie.</description>
