7 Days of Glenorchy Christmas - Captains Log: Day Five.

One more sleep. All the kiddies should be tucked up asleep in their poorly constructed beds from Fantastic Furniture by now. Ready to wake in four or so hours, and launch into the destruction of endless amounts of trees used to create wrapping paper. Traffic chaos all through the Municipality of Glenorchy today. Claremont Plaza may have had a face lift, but no one there knows how to follow a directional arrow in their car. And pedestrians cross everywhere... except at pedestrian crossings. A logjam of cars at Northgate as parents race into Target to collect the last of their black plastic wrapped lay-buys. Hopefully KFC has stockpiled chicken for tomorrows deluge of drive-through orders for Christmas lunch. AKA the bogan roast dinner. The Club Hotel bottleshop sold out of Johnnie Walker Red Label & Cola 10-packs as people stocked up for the traditional all day Christmas piss-up. Followed by the family punch up on the front lawns, for all the neighbourhood to see. Anyway, time for The Captain to go help the Big Guy get through his night in the Greater Glenorchy area. Not even Rudolph could guide his way through this cesspit. Elwick Road.... You're on The Captain's Naughty List. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night (with no burn-outs).
Captain Glenorchy - Ho-Ho-Ho-ver and Out.
