The Count Down
Is this accurate? Probably not...........but who cares? We all know this year is winding down. Adios 2009!
What will you be doing this last day of the year 2009?
Me...................I'll be working. Payday.
We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential. ~Ellen Goodman
Life is a Highway. Let's share the Commute.
Happy New Year Diana
Happy New Year to all my Friends here at the Garden.

Happy New Year Diana and Kathy Ellen.
Tomorrow, well today now, I'm going to see a new house. I hope I get it. It's really close to college, for the kids. 5 really good friends of ours live in the same road and it's away from my neighbours from hell!
The only problem is that someone else is viewing it half an hour before us, so they will have first refusal. I hope they refuse!
At 3pm I have a hospital appointment! Who the heck makes appointments for 3pm on New Years Eve? However, I want to change my diabetic medication so I need to go and ask them what positive changes I can make to have better control.
After that we're going to look around the German Market and we're taking the kids to Pizza Hut. We only get to go to Pizza Hut about once a year as there aren't any near us. We thought we'd treat ourselves as it's payday and as it's New Year's and as things haven't been so rosy lately, lots of worries about things, lots of hassle and things going wrong.
I'm hoping we'll get this house and be surrounded by friends, but it could also all go wrong if they become too intrusive. It's hard to judge. Sometimes, when things are really meant to be, they all just fall into place. I'm hoping that will happen for me here.
May 2010 be a fresh new start for us and a fresh new year for everyone here too.
HAPPY NEW YEAR FG-ERS!
I do hope that does all work out for you, Rapunzel. Very best wishes. And also to you AFTR and Kathy Ellen!!!!
It's 11:21am here, New Year's Eve and I shall probably be the first Gardener to reach 2010!!
My street is already being barricaded - we're part of the foreshore fireworks viewing front seats and people are starting to stream in. Parking is not available. By midday, anyone on foot will be searched for alcohol etc (you can't bring your own!)
It's kind of soft here today, light drizzle. Warm. Very nice.
I am having a small do, family and close friends only - and we shall graze on cheeses, French bread, summer fruits, legham, smoked salmon, lamb roll (I have to bake that) and sip champers with strawbs and Scottish shortbread (I have to make that shortly too).
My kids, returning from work, will have to walk in, showing residential ID. Once in, no one can get out till 2am.
The Sydney fireworks this year are expected to be spectacular. They are trying out some new technology, and using the hardest firework colour - blue- as the theme...
Happy New Year Diana and all my friends on forumgarden!
I am really looking forward to starting a new year as this has been the toughest.
Be safe and enjoy!
Oh Pammie, that sounds wonderful!
I shall watch out for your fireworks display on TV! The Sydney Harbour fireworks are always the best display! Amazingly beautiful! Who can forget your Millennium fireworks which lit up Sydney Harbour Bridge? Stunning!
Odie, hunni, I wish you all the very best for a wonderful and bright New Year. You deserve a good life, laughter and happiness. May 2010 Bless You.
Happy New Year Odie.
Rapunzel - the posh cruiser "The World" is just now sailing back into Sydney Harbour after wandering down the coast for a few days following the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. They'll have front row seats too!!!
And - this is amazing - I just received a package from darkest, snowbound, wintry Noo Joisey - and in it there was one fantastically green traveling tee shirt which will, of course now be here for the New Year's Eve fireworks. How clever of Kathy Ellen!!!

Lots of yachts are sailing in and mooring over behind the Opera House.
Now there's helicopters everywhere...
