Ending up

The final run of the year was almost Kumo's final run of all time. Breaking loose from his collar, he took off in pursuit of a Doberman, then played in the traffic for a while before engaging Bigtop and Urass in a game of Hide and Seek through the old CSIRO grounds - where he succeeded in disappearing for well over half an hour. His minders certainly needed a drink when his native intelligence and homing instincts brought him back to John Scott Park.

Native intelligence and homing instincts brought the rest of us back there too, just before the heavens opened and dumped 25mm on Samford Village. Potluck as usual provided a varied and plentiful feast of leftover fare, including samples of several Christmas puds. Here are some of the crowd sheltering from the storm - including the wayward white wanderer:

It was good to welcome some Christmas visitors - firstly, Tinkerbell from the Brisbane Men's Hash and his son (not pictured - that young man on the right is Payback):

and, secondly, Leatherback from the UK (and, yes, that is his son on the right):

We aim to polish off some more leftovers next week - New Year's ones this time - and Cash Converta tells us we have enough in Hash Cash to fund a glass of bubbly as well. We'll kick off 2016 in style!
