My Christmas Day is forecast to be hot quenched only by copious amounts of SML :biggrin:
I can predict the same for New Year's Eve also :Jump:

Yes hot and sweaty New Year's Eve for me too, I hope. Rooftop terrace drinking a cool SML - followed by a cup of tea - while looking at the building site. I had better take my miner's lantern to get around the site. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
