With a house full of Scottish rels we saw the NY in properly - alas no whisky, but Drambuie and shortbreads after having been in town for the fireworks.

We...Hello Lee, no part of the $33m here either<br />:-(<br /><br />We stayed for the fireworks from Sydney Harbor, and we taped the Eagles and Cream, we saw the Eagles live in Brisbane last year (what it last year or the year before?)<br /><br />wow, that Cream are old rockers, for sure! But still brilliant, where do they get the energy?<br /><br />Speaking of energy; I 'wrote' a post in my head this morning, very early, I started to think about NY resolutions, and moved on to the year that was - and other resolutions and other years - I am afraid the post would have come out very gloomy - I'm not sure why - I don't 'feel' gloomy - perhaps it was just reflections, better left unwritten, do you ever do that? Think something through in 'post' style, then let go of it?<br />It's almost like having talked it through ...<br /><br />Your lunch went well ... people who like to laugh, my favourite people!<br /><br />Happy New Year ...<br />:-)<br />DellaDellaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155594753101319379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-442872960069160192006-12-31T13:50:00.000-08:002006-12-31T13:50:00.000-08:00Welshcakes...that was a bit mean of me, wasn't it?...Welshcakes...that was a bit mean of me, wasn't it?

I had a very nice, relaxed evening listening to music and my own thoughts. I ended up catching "New York! New York!" half-way through it, so I whacked it on the end of the music video. I realised I'd never ever seen it. I hope it pours with rain too, but I see blue sky out there, peeping through some grey clouds..damn! I hope the clouds win the battle! <br /><br />A happy, prosperous and safe 2007 to you! :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-33797795587217902782006-12-31T13:37:00.000-08:002006-12-31T13:37:00.000-08:00Happy New Year, Lee!

I actually watched Chicago on Seven - the music and dancing was wonderful!<br /><br />I also spent New Year on my own, I just preferred it that way. Had an invitation to a friend's but I felt like my own company so "declined with thanks".<br /><br />I managed to stay awake until midnight then went to bed and zonked out completely (I think it was the wine, teehee).<br /><br />Hopefully, Mother Nature will send us some rain today - it's forecast, but I'll believe it when it happens.<br /><br />Have a good one, Lee<br /><br />Cheers!Puss-in-Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313418336654760327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-68670268526874755172006-12-31T13:09:00.000-08:002006-12-31T13:09:00.000-08:00Great Read as usual Lee.

So you were up at 3.30am.<br />Gosh, we had just gone to bed.<br />Peter had gone down the shop on Saturday to get some Lotto tickets.<br />Just before the drawing began he asked me again if if wanted to pay for half the tickets and share in the 50/50 win. Nah I said, I'd rather throw my money into the street. After the draw and Peter checked his tickets he said "good choice" that I had not invested my $6.00.<br />Damn I missed the Michael Buble concert.<br />Have a drink or two for me and enjoy your New Year.<br />See you (oh well write with you) in 2007.wazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05101755538776217456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-77662117736959441202006-12-31T03:36:00.000-08:002006-12-31T03:36:00.000-08:00My same wishes go out to you, Merle. :) I'm tapin...My same wishes go out to you, Merle. :) I'm taping the Eagles'concert and Michael Buble' before them...as I'm listening to music on my stereo...I'll watch tonight's tv concerts tomorrow...the ABC have some great stuff lined for tonight.
