-1C here north of Stockholm, I'm shortly heading out for some soft tunnbröd ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnbr%C3%B6d ), butter and carrot juice for breakfast.

The 25th is the day to finally relax after a fun but stressful christmas eve.

Having a nice relaxing day.

@ryannathans @wildwhitehorses going to be one of those dry thunderstorms me thinks: all action but no rain and even then only if you're in the Hills.

Great in the aircon, but looks like a storm is rolling in novw?

Where to, if I may ask? What were the reasons? (/me in the Netherlands currently. Love the cycling paths and many cultural aspects, hate investing time to learn a language that is widely spoken by... 1/500th of the world population.)

-4 in my part of the Netherlands with a top of -1 this afternoon

Fled Perth for the northern hemisphere, but not too far north. It’s currently 29 C here with clouds and a light breeze. It’s lovely.

-3 degrees here in Denmark. Our main issue is that everybody in our family is sick or is recovering from being sick. Panodil helped us through Christmas.

It's 0⁰ currently here in the Northeast US. 2:48 am Christmans morning.

41's hot, yeah? Celsiusesssss, not Farenheits.. Am thinking Perth, means it's just turned summer and is hot as balls, no?

God, hope everyone's got something cool to drink!

Merry Christmas!

Sorry 41.7⁰

😆

Never get into running the fully programmed LED's that sync to music. That quickly turns into a full time hobby.

Surely there'll be some there already. As I understood it, it would be mostly transient as Subs come in and out, i'm sure there'll be a full time presence of some kind though.

Oh, I see. Well thats your beliefs. I think the article does quite well highlighting the charitable and commmunitarian drivers of their lights display though. Isn't it important that a religious belief can see the presence of god in many and all things otherwise it risks becoming idolatry.

But as I say this, i know I'm going way out of the bounds of my specific knowledge and beliefs, so i'll caveat all of that with the fact that religious belief isn't my gig. I'm just trying a friendly challenge of an alternative perspective in the discussion.

Christmas is about Christ, not inflatable bearded old man. While Santa is part of the culture, we should not forget what is actually about.

Hmm, not sure what you're saying? That the pictures don't show any christmas related displays?

Those puffy Bluey and Bingo Lights are popular this year. Click through to the article though, theres more pictures of Santa, grinch, snowmen, reindeer, etc.

impressive display, but there is nothing there is about Christmas (at least I did not sport it).

Hooli dooli! They spend 1/3rd of their year on this display!

“Each year, we start unpacking the sheds in September and the October and November every spare minute we have as we both work full-time we are working on the set up of the display ready for it to be switched on the 1st of December,” Lisa said.

Maybe Justice could pass it to Communities and they could turn it into a hostel/homeless shelter?

FYI:

Demersal fish

Fish that live and feed on or near the bottom of seas or lakes.

It was a most fine establishment

Bells Rapids, of course! Thats a good accessible one, didn't think of there. Yeah the big hill on the otherside of the rivers lends itself to getting bush in the sky photography.

Edit: that phone cameras still pretty good though.

We did, but left home pretty late so didn't go as far out at planned.

Ended up at bells rapids and watched from around 12:45-1:30. The wind was blowing but it was warm and we took cocoa. No clouds in sight 👍🏼

Saw some good ones. Tried to get some pics with trails but no luck. Was only working with a phone camera.

Will have to camp the next time it lines up with the moon phase.

I never spent as much time as I'd've liked at Connections they were always fun nights. But i'm straight as well so maybe thats for the better, i remember a gay friend having a mild gripe about not having enough safe spaces.

Oh man, i'm glad the Rise closed, that place was a mess. Loved it! But it was a mess!

Did you end up going last night? Ended up pretty stormy, did it clear up in time?
