Hello everyone, mega quick last minute introduction to this episode.

We made it to Australia for Christmas.

We made it all the way to the island state of Tasmania,

which is where my parents have just moved,

just arrived here after what can only be described as the most complicated, nightmarish set of three flights

with every single complication imaginable, overcome, and we will be spending Christmas. My parents are

already delighted to meet our little boy, Otis. But this is where I'm going to be for the next couple of weeks.

You will have to forgive me if I'm very quiet on social media. Even you'll have to forgive me

if there's no episode next week. But there you go. First time home in five years for me.

First time I've seen my family in three years and I'm happy to be back. Very, very different

from Paris where we ended up right now. There's sheep. I can see sheep as I'm recording this.

And we left Paris looking very beautiful. The Christmas lights all over the place. If you are

a Patrile member, I took everyone for a live walk down rue claire in the seventh

all the way down rue claire left on rusandome to the eiffel tower sparkle show if you remember

it's the very top post on patreon dot com slash the earful tower you can watch the replay if you're not a member. It's the perfect time to sign up.

Treat yourself or someone that you love to a membership for Christmas. And we also found the time

to film my traditional scooter ride down the Chansilly-Zee. I'll be uploading that to YouTube very

soon. Make sure you're a subscriber,

YouTube.com slash the Earful Tower. But that's enough of this quick introduction.

I think I can hear my family calling in the background. I'll leave you with this episode

recorded in Paris with a review of 2021 on the Yearful Tower. Thank you very much and happy Christmas from me,

Lena and Little Otis.
