NOTE TO ALL regards from whence these gifts today came, my understanding is that these gifts are sent from and on behalf of all those who contributed whatever towards bringing me to Oz ... and my thank you and delight go back to all of you for sending these gifts and good spirits my way. Gotta loves ya's for all the hings ya's are and do ... and I do. Thanks folks!
On the baskets were little gift cards that say:
1)
Merry Christmas from All at MLU
From the upside down people in the land down under.
Something for you to enjoy, but don't drink it all at once as you may lose your grip on the frying pan.
2)
Merry Xmas from the land down under.
Since you couldn't make it out here, here is a small gift for your enjoyment, everyone is thinking of you.
Merry Christmas from all,
please stop worrying.

The message is also my own

turned back on me by you lot to make me stop whinging and whining with the guilt trips already and shut up about it and laying that on you all about the trip non-event ... so sorry darling's,

accepted, I shall shut up now
