To recap
This is what I have been doing for the holidays:
24th December: flew to Canberra to stay with my brother John and his family. It was great to see them again.
25th December: Got up early to open the presents. I got a few nice ones. In the afternoon my mother, sister Pauline and her fiance Barry Wiley arrived. They had driven down from Batemans Bay. They were a little bit late but we had a nice late lunch and dinner. I have never eaten so many prawns. There were more presents to be had. I had a lot of fun with the kids as always.
26th December: In the morning we left Canberra and drove up to Sydney. The trip was ok but the car was a little bit cramped. I was glad when we arrived.
In the evening we attended a party at the house of my neice Caitlin Lang and her fiancee Jarrod. Other family members were there and I met a few people i had not seen for years. When the party was over we went to my sister Maryanne's house in Mosman and spent the night there.
27th December: Pauline, Mum and myself left Sydney and drove up the New England Highway to Armidale. It was a great trip but once again, the car was a bit cramped and I was glad to get to Armidale. We stayed overnight at the Hideaway Inn, which was nice. We had dinner at a local pub.
28th December: Drove from Armidale to Brisbane via Casino. Once again it was a good trip. Sitting in the back seat with the top down I could hear sounds like bells in the trees. It was Bellbirds singing. It was interesting driving into Brisbane.
29th - 30th December: Generally relaxing, taking life easy. Did some shopping in Brisbane.
31st Devember: I went for a walk to the tennis centre and watched some of the qualifiers playing. I couldn't see anyone famous around. In the evening, Pauline and myself went to Suncorp Stadium to see Brisbane Roar play Melbourne Victory. Harry Kewell scored for Victory after 2 minutes. The Roar looked a bit ragged but scored a goal before half time. They scored two more in the second half and won 3-1. It was a good game and my first A-League match. I was very impressed and I felt that it was a good way to spend New Years eve.

wow, what an interesting blog..
well, was that exciting or what?
I really wonder about blog sites, why would anyone want to waffle on about what they do, like, who cares.
I just think the personal info is of no interest to other people, so why waste time doing it.
Go and get a life.
Its good to recieve presents, even nice ones, but are we talking about an adult here.
I gave my brother a chq for $1000, which he really liked.
In return he gave me a chq for $1000, so that was good, we each got to buy something that we wanted.
I had to evict a tenant last week, she was 3 mths behind in rent, 8 mths pregnant, and had 7 kids. 4 dogs and a goat. You should see the mess left behind. As it was a one bedroom flat, there was only 3 rooms to clean up and paint. Its the stench that will linger on. O well, I may rent it out to the sudenese people, they dont seem to care.
