We hope everyone had a great Christmas and here's wishing you all a wonderful New Year and a fantastic 2009. Only one day to go...Who knows what the new year will bring for us but it is sure to be different and although hard work will be on the cards we do hope to get away for a bit of a holiday at the end of January/ early February as there are no holidays after that until Lynne's contract finishes at the end of June.
Christmas day was a little different for us this year - Xmas eve here we managed to skype Brian's Mum in Napier which was Xmas morning in NZ. We also woke Dan (sorry Sarah) up early on Xmas morning to have a wee chat. Then we went off to bed and woke to find it was Xmas afternoon - NZ time. So much had happened in that time that we had sadly missed.
We had a Christmas breakfast with some friends across town and then had a big get together for an afternoon/ evening meal ( and a few drinks ) here with many of the apartment dwellers in our block. So a good time was had even though we couldn't share it with our friends and family back home.
Celebrating the New Year is not a big deal here. I'm still not sure what we are doing as yet - we have work the next day ( Brian has the day off and is hoping to go Fishing and maybe even catching something). We could go to a flash hotel and enjoy an expensive drink or 2 with the many other expats here and then get a taxi home or get together with some of the folks here and have a few quiet ones up on the roof and watch the fireworks that are supposed to happen. They do good fireworks over here - We'll keep you posted as to what we got up to....
