New Year Celebrations

Happy New Year to all of you out there. May the new year bring you new opportunities, joy and fulfillment.

My New Year's Eve.
Spend the day at Coldstream Vet Clinic, cleaning and helping with grooming, then headed round to my brothers to hang out until going with him to one of his mates houses to see in the new year. Nice and relaxing, watching movies (Take note: Seven Pounds is very confusing when watched at 2am. Apparently if you miss 45minutes due to sleeping, you are still very confused. On the bright side, in the last 5 minutes we did managed to work out what was going on in the movie, and hey presto! it all made sense :) )

And so onto the New Year...What will it bring? More work, volunteer work, some study, a trip overseas (wait for it... including some more volunteer work) a new job?-we can but keep our fingers crossed, and hopefully some more time catching up with friends and family.

Movied out!

I was given a double movie pass to La Premier for Christmas last year, and had to use it by the end of December this year. Therefore, on Christmas day I thought I really should go and see some movies before my tickets expired.

So... Boxing day, after I had been to Coldstream and helped to clean out the cattery, and had a lovely morning tea there, I then headed to Eastland to see Australia. Boxing day sales were in full swing, so parking was at a premium. None the less, I saw my movie, not too bad, and headed home.

27th....Decided I wanted to go the the Moonlight Cinemas in the Botanic Gardens. A lovely place to go and have a picnic, spread your rug out, crawl under the blankets and get eaten alive while trying to peer round peoples head to see the movie!!!! After telling the people in front to stop sitting up so I could see, I enjoyed James Bond, and thanks to the fairly warm weather, didnt even freeze to death. No-one wanted to come with me-snobs you all-but enjoyable all the same.




Sunday 28th...Day off from movies, but tried to go to some markets instead. Unfortunately, out of 3 markets apparently on every Sunday, only one was on, but what can you do?

Monday 29th...Back to the slog of work, and then to the movies!!! Again back to Eastland, this time to see The Curious Case of Benyamin Button. Not a bad movie, a bit slow to start, but good.

Tuesday 30th...Was supposed to go and see Twilight with some work mates, but they pulled out and so I was saved from a 4th movie-apparently we missed a good movie. Do I see another solo trip to the movies in the distance.....
