Well, it's after 3am here in Sydney, and we've had a great night out watching fireworks and eating and drinking in style. We have a sparkling new year that we can play in, so ---

Happy New Year JennyO! and thank you. I just had a 'phone call from my fairly p*ssed parents in Perth who had just seen the New Year in. They've obviously enjoyed it so far, but I have a feeling that my Mum won't be enjoying it when she wakes up!!

Love Lynne

I still do not understand how Ozlanders can stand up straight on the earth since they are always upside down on it...except when they celbrate with too much ale or whatever they call drink down yunner.

It's New Year's somewhere.....

Backatcha all you late people from the rest of the world! Thought you'd never get here! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, 2007 has been pretty good so far. First of all, a long sleep in till whenever I felt getting up, then a small gathering of friends over at freda's place, with yummy salad and Molly O'Rourke's Irish Whiskey Fruit Cake.

The whiskey in the cake was the only alcohol however. Drinks consisted of tea, coffee and freda's recovery drink, which was wonderfully refreshing - made from soda water, a little lemonade and ginger beer, with lemon juice and crushed up mint. The lemon and mint came from my garden. I said to her "I'm trying to catch the lemon pips but they keep diving to the bottom". She said that was all part of her cunning plan to get the brain working after the hangover :-)

We still have a couple of hours of daylight to go yet, so I'm going out in the garden soon to do battle with the weeds and the local stinging ants. Weeding I enjoy - the ants I could do without :-(

Happy New Year back at you!

Our garden is covered with a half inch of ice - the good news being that we made it home after the new year's toast and before the freezing rain started to fall. Someday it will be warm here again....

And we also hope to see you in person this year, probably in the fall.

Looking forward to seeing you later this year too! Much food and drink will be consumed and songs will be sung in your honour!
