Daryl and Franz arrived at my house at about 8.30am on New Year's Eve, said they had dropped the girls off already at the Botanic Gardens with all their stuff, so we got on the bus ourselves to meet them there. We got off at Circular Quay and made our way down to Mrs Macquerie's Point, one of 2 free viewing sites in the Gardens. Could not believe our eyes when we got down there, it was just a little past 9am and the queue was already miles and miles long. Every t...

Got a few things to catch up on here really! First, the IEP Christmas bash at Coogee was lots of fun! Felt abit self conscious at first, as everyone else seemed dressed down than us, and I had a jug of beer to myself, it was a good night though.

Not written here for awhile so thought that I should write something just so everyone knows I've not been abducted or anything! Had a few quiet weeks really, just been trying to save the pennies as much as anything. My week's work at the Darling Harbour went well, was the easiest money I'll ever make that's for sure!
