New Years Eve Events

Hello Everyone!

Thought I'd start at the end of the exhausting, nomadic whirlwind of a year that 2012 was eg. moving etc, and the unexpected fun and fantastic beginning of excitement of 2013.

Let's start with New years Eve, Mon 31st Dec wasn't particularly eventlful just the ususal Calisthenics, BLD, a trip to the local Bunnings store, keyboard practise and a brilliant descision on my behalf as it turned out for my husband Paul and I to attend the NYE Festivities!

Naughts & Crosses?

The evening began with desperately tying to find parking close to the Mecure...which we didn't but passed the Moscow Circus before it opened in January for school holidays (iphone shot of it taken out of car window), - but after several laps managed to find one on the Domain to experience both the 9:30pm family fireworks from the Domain (I loved to imagine that the Pirotechnicians had purposefully created naughts & crosses especially for me LOL), & the beautiful cruise ship as a backdrop (read this) and make our way to the Hobart Mecure, have a NYE drink and maybe a bowl of hot chips and Aoili and then stroll across to the Midnight fireworks in Hobart from Kings Pier Marina; where we earlier that week encountered the Hobart winner of the 68th Rolex Sydney Hobart Wild Oats XI.


As it happened the kitchen staff of the Mecure unbeknown to the wait staff had closed after we placed and paid for our order, he then reappeared to announce that the kitchen had CLOSED!

...Surprisingly & thankfully we were offered a $22 cheese platter in lieu of the $7 bowl of hot chips and Aoili which we had already paid for WooHoo!

...By the way Paul is Beer & I am Red wine - which we seldomly do  :-D ...Small isn't it? Ba Ha Ha!

The Midnight fireworks were special too as was the whole night.

Welcome 2013 - "May your latter days be better than your former ones" Amen!
