Christmas Period 2009

The christmas period started out not in a not terribly memorable fashion. I was sick all day monday the 21st. I found myself vomiting and feeling really ill after i came back from doing my christmas shopping. I felt lousy and did not sleep all night. I was almost tempted to call of the trip to Sydney. However, i decided that I would not waste my ticket and decided to go. There was also the fact that I could not stand the thought of being stuck in Bendigo on my own over the christmas period.

So I went on tuesday the 22nd. I got the train to Melbourne and then caught the flight to Sydney. The flight with Virgin Blue was ok. I have stayed the last two days and nights with my sister Maryanne in her unit in Neutral Bay. She is a good host. Yesterday she took me to Manly where I had a swim at Manly beach and went or a walk along the Corso. It was nice, although the surf was pretty ordinary. Today we went christmas shopping. Later this evening I will go to Cronulla with my sister Frances, and I will stay with the Sargeants at Cronulla.
