Mollymook

The day after choir we headed off with our friend Linda from Grand Junction Colorado to stay with Scott - an exchange teacher from Denver. He and Caleb had met up throughout the year while we were travelling but this was the first time we had a chance to visit his fab house in Mollymook.

Noel Noel and all that jazz!

One of the great joys of being back in Sydney in December is the opportunity to hear the
Australian Brandenburg' s Noel Noel concert. Very eclectic- click to listen. A brilliant night that didn't end there.... we wandered out onto Cleveland St and discovered a great jazz club.... looked a bit like a brothel but had a really great night

Ftom this to this!!

3 December Let’s Rock n Bowl

Let’s Rock n Bowl

The challenge was on… who could win the “Horses Arse” and who would win the trophy? Didn’t matter in the end. A great night, fab company, lots of fun finished off by dinner at Manly Lodge.

Fabuloso!!!



Oh no its February already!

Ok so my resolution to write a weekly blog failed miserably!! We just had a wonderful few days down at Pebbly Beach.... no electricity just gas lamps, stove and the sound of the sea... fabulous. So as the kangaroos lept about us I decided to make a concerted effort to update my blog ... so here goes with December 2010.!
