Santa, your tits are showing..
Christmas Day..
26.12.14 - The position of Santa has been pretty much vouchsafed to me at Burns-girls' Christmas Day celebrations from time immemorial, apart from one year when Nicole briefly usurped me. This year the character was made more convincing with the addition of an actual commercially available Chinese-manufactured Santa suit, including beard, procured from the back-of-a-truck by Uncle Geoffrey. Next year I'll add a safety-pin for the gaping decolletage (pic) but otherwise the outfit was a perfect fit and the moment I put it on I actually became Santa - well, probably a version of Santa from your worst nightmare, but everybody seemed to enjoy it as much as I did so what more can you ask? Suffice to say the thought of a career-path briefly crossed my mind.
I have a made a big deal about the pressures of Christmas in the past and while all that remains true, as I've also pointed out it's a time for family and for that reason it still looms large on all our calendars. (pic by Tez)
 
     
 

The Governor and some other old duffer with special Chris
Chris gets another award
24-12.14 -
You saw it in FB - Chris got another award for just being Chris (actually for 25 years of service) and Maria put up a detailed pic of the award and another of me and the reluctant recipient. It so happens that Alkira just sent us the 'official' pics of the really spiffy Foundation awards at Government house a month or so back. Chris is so reluctant to be photographed in this shot that it reminded me of one of those Reuters or Chinois agency wire pictures of some corrupt official being presented to the press before being executed. It's not that bad Chris - why don't you show us yer smiley face!
