Waiting for the new year

25th - 30th December
Christmas Day - New Year's Eve!

Some homemade Mango Mohitos!
They don't look very appetizing, but they were...


Post the Swedish Christmas, the 25th was a complete wash out. Rain clouds gathered all over Sydney and rain came in slowly. It was not what the doctor ordered as we had a plan to go to Bondi Beach, it being a christmas day tradition here in Sydney. That didn't happen. Home sweet home instead.

The following days we polished of the remains of the food that graced our table for christmas, we cooked many wonderful new dishes. We discovered a fantastic Fairlight Walk that John and Karren recommended. Its 2 km one way, so pretty good exercise after all of the chistmas food. So we walk every evening.
We popped into the city for some sales bargian shopping, which I do not recommend as its too packed in there. But we mainly relax in Manly these days, catching up on the reading and a bit of sunbathing weather permitting. Life is pretty good.
New Year celebrations to look forward to, and we plan to go to a view point, of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge with a picnic and some beers. It should be great fun.

It started with one cockatoo coming to visit every day.
One lead to another and the good word spred,
"Angela gives out great fresh bread"
And then they were 5

Your New years looks so much better than mine! Drinkin a beer like that is called a shotgun, and your mango mojitos look fantastic! Might have to think about putting that one on the list at work. Miss you heaps hope you are having a blast. Make sure you give me some details about the wedding so I can look into travel options and see if I can make it over.
