Merry Christmas everyone

Well I managed to pull off my first Christmas cooking feast for 10 without too many hitches. Well except maybe the hangover on Christmas morning but I am sure after another day of yummy food it will all be good.

Anyway hope you are all well and having a lovely time with your family and friends my thoughts are with you.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Coca Cola Christmas in the park











Free and fabulous

Map comparisons

Its quite interesting seeing the different ways that a map can be represented. I actually think the one with the least info would be the easiest in terms of driving/walking navigation.

My Sisters Birthday

Wow what an amazing Monday my sister and I have just had. We got up and went to see four holidays the movie in the morning which was really funny and sufficiently cheesy for a Christmas flick. Then we went and looked at the beautiful Smith and Caughey Christmas windows (for those in Melbourne like the myers one). Then we had high tea at the Langham hotel which was oooh so yummy. Then it was off for a spot of shopping and 5 mins on the massage chair - every good shopper needs a break :). at 6pm we went for dinner at Wildfire an all you can eat South American restaurant where with the amount of meat you consume makes you feel a bit like King Henry the 8th. The hot waiters are a definite bonus. Finally we went to the Kylie x 2008 tour. I don't even know how to describe it as it was mind blowing all the costumes, theatrical digital displays, and her songs of course were amazing more like a cross between an andrew loydd webber musical, a massive attack dance party and a grand opera than what I had expected. I sang so much and clapped so much by the time I left my throat was hoarse and my body aching. Highly recommended.

PS. the best part was so many of the days activities were cheap as we used our entertainment card to the maxx.










Christmas parties begin

OK so I am sure you are all in the thick of it too, I love christmas party season. This weekend alone I had a house warming, a welcome home and a dinner out. All were heaps of fun and man is my tummy expanding with all the extra food and drink itsd having to cope with. The pics are of my dinner at Ginas with Mike and Steve and the beautiful lights down Franklin Rd in Auckland.
