Live coverage of Australia Day 2012

including Darling Harbour fireworks.

Watching the live stream from Darling Harbour brought back memories of the year
 I took my 5' tall, 78 year old mother to the Australia Day fireworks.

A pack of 6' tall teenagers formed a circle around her
 to protect her from the jostling crowd.

  C'mon Grandma we'll look after you, they said.
Stand clear, Grandma coming through, they yelled.
Laughter all round. AusDay, 1996.

(Made me laugh)

I went back to work on Wednesday but some clients forgot to inform office they will be going away on holidays so had a quiet week, next year I will take more time off over the New Year break. 

Mowed back and front yards yesterday. a hot day, today have no energy which is annoying as I had planned to go down to the Sydney Festival 2012
 http://www.sydneyfestival.org.au/info/ 
which started late yesterday with Festival First Night.. Huge program of events scattered over multiple sites from 7 January till 29 January.

More Photos from 2011


 I have no work rostered on Friday so will try to attend as many free events as I can and seriously thinking of  staying overnight.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone from my family to yours.

The Entrance Farmers Market

The Entrance Farmers Market this morning, fine and sunny, crowded, lots of stalls. Bought my home-made soap, vegetables and home-made sausage rolls which I wished I had bought more of and put in the freezer.

Looking towards The Entrance Bridge

My new favourite Youtube video.

Natalie Imbruglia's song, Torn

mime by David Armand.

(or signed language!)

Today I will be venturing into the garage to find the Christmas tree and decorations. Wish me luck, I hope they aren't buried under mountains of useless clutter I have accumulated this past year.

I went into The Entrance today to see the

huge display of Chromefest2011 cars and activities.

The Rock'nRollers were enjoying the music

Loved the colours of these two cars.

I notice this message to me last night (Saturday) on Twitter

:-( @ALadyByTheSea Hi! you've won tickets through our MasterChef Live competition and we want to get in touch to send you tickets. Please DM us.

:-( Unhappy, I miss out on collecting the free tickets to MasterChef at the Horden Pavilion at Moore Park, in Sydney I would have loved to have gone. Oh well, maybe I should have been confident I would win and checked back to the site.
