| Hi achternaam, Queen Liz once described her year as; Annus Horribilus, my December has been... Mensis Horribillis. A month of drama, sadness and discomfort. One to put behind me. Bad luck is supposed to run in threes, I mananged 3 batches of 3 at least! I missed most of the month here at HQ as I chased about the country with sick relatives and various dramas. I spent hours on the phone, in hospitals, on the road and in the air. The worst day was flying out of Perth with gastro, a broken ankle and a very recent bereavement... Purgartory! Despite the handicap we made it to the Melbourne screening of Finke -- there and back, the following day only to have some low-life knock off a pair of powder blue Avduro Pannierz we made as a special sponsorship prize. 
If you see a pair of blue panniers out there with this logo on it, they are knocked off. It's all up from here, the surgeon operated on the correct leg! So, just a quick note to wish you and yours, a screamer of a 2020 and a safe silly season. |
