Hello February! Where did you come from? You’ve just appeared like some kind of month magic trick. Not that I’m sad to see you. As months go, I think Feb’s one of the good ones. Short, to the point (even when it’s a day longer like this year), February has the intensity that most months

If there were any doubt that summer was here in Sydney, I think this past week has put everyone’s mind at rest.

So this is it! Our last Weekly Edition of 2019. Probably. There’s an outside chance we’ll have more to tell you after Christmas and before New Year’s Eve. Let’s see! But in this Edition we’re looking at what Christina got up to on her actual birthday (after her gin-fuelled birthday party last weekend) and how
