Back to Work

It was back to work on Monday 19th Jan I was in shock for most of the day. I couldn't remember my password for the computer and for a moment couldn't quite remember if I worked on the 36th or 37th floor.. I think those are all good signs that I had a great holiday and relaxed completely. I did have a good holiday, had a wonderful time and Inverloch on my birthday. The celebrations went on for couple of days as my friends birthday was on the Monday, then I had dinner out with Shelley, Malcolm, Darrin and Candice on Tuesday evening. We went to the Japanese restaurant in Beaumaris - not too far away, the food was delicious. The weather was very hot that evening.

Shelley had a tea party for me on Sat morning before my birthday, that was fun with party poppers, candles and cakes!! Fergus and Zac loved it and they sang Happy Birthday to me. I was spoilt as usual and got lovely gifts from family and friends.

The weather was great at the weekend I was in Torquay on Friday evening, got a wetsuit as a birthday present - so will be trying that out very soon!!

Sat morning saw me at a laugh group in Geelong.. that was so much fun, I laughed and laughed just thinking about it now makes me laugh.

Sunday afternoon was spent listening to music followed by BYO fish and chips at the wine bar and a lovely glass of Pinot noir.

Well all that came to an end on Monday morning and it was back to work - I am looking forward to a long weekend this weekend which is great and weather forecast is for warm weather. More next week after the long weekend..

Happy New Year!

CHRISTMAS DAY PICS!

I farewelled 2008 with a few tears, as I reflected on some of the events of the year, all thanks to my wonderful family, colleagues at BSL and my great friends who gave me so much support in 2008. The year ended well with a great celebration at the Mordialloc Sporting Club, with new and old friends. We walked home after a fun night. Reflecting after a few red wines 2008wasn't that bad was it!!! I learnt a lot...

I had a great Christmas too - a lovely Christmas dinner with the family and then Christmas morning with Zac and Fergus. That began at 5 am. Fergus had great fun opening his presents and then enjoyed Zac's gifts! and Zac was a little overwhelmed.

The weather was lovely on Christmas day, in the afternoon I caught the train from Mordialloc to City and then City to Geelong (Thank you Connex for my free travel) I spent Christmas night with new friends and had a most enjoyable time.

A lazy few days followed with a trip to Arthur's Seat to the beautiful Seawinds park, walks and dinners out at the local pub. Last Saturday evening was spent a the Espy hotel in St Kilda went to see Phil Para and then stayed on for a Jamaican Dance Party celebrating Bob Marley's music.

I am looking forward to the next few days, the weather is looking good and I don't go back to work until 19th January.

I am spending my birthday at Inverloch with a friend whose birthday is the following day - hoping to get the boogie board out at last !

A few things on this week.. It's Candice's birthday on 8th January - will be catching up with her on Thursday. Movies tomorrow evening, catchup with the boys tomorrow during day, Lunch at Dantes (my favourite restaurant) on Wednesday with my friend Judy.

I have to start planning my holiday very soon. more on that next time.
