Have already done a Happy Christmas post but thought I'd do another for our friends from Downunder.

Hope all's going well and the sprouts aren't burning on the bar b.

Couldn't sleep so thought I'd use you guys as an excuse to have a sneaky Guinness or two before the missus wakes up.

Have a great day....

...and happy Christmas from me to you all, but especially the techies and mods who keep this forum running so smoothly.

I wish you all the best for 2017. Me? I'd just like to spend more than the 4 days working on my layout that I managed in 2016.  :( 5 maybe??

Many happies,

Chris

You can actually put a battery in it and movement is controlled by a lever switch on the roof, but the Squidlet is suspicious of toys which move autonomously, so we'll leave that for later.

That is frightening!  :help: "Wot is?", I hear you ask - the T-shirt of course. Why, what else did you think I meant!  ;)

"Later" as in today, as it turns out. He was a bit taken aback at first but when I showed him how the lever works, he was most delighted, though he still doesn't have the coordination to work it himself but he knows which bit to point at when he wants it to move or stop.
