Over here schools are now closed until the end of January as it's summer.
Most retail is closed on Dec 25 and Jan 1 but quite a few reamin open across
all other days. Quite a few businesses close around Dec 23/24 and re-open Jan
5th or a week later.

I'm now starting a holiday and have annual leave until Jan 18th when I'll
head back to work, so some more time hopefully for BBS etc.

Just working on setting up a new machine to host the BBS on.

Best, Paul
