Xmas | Australia
As has become a bit of a tradition in the Hunters Hill region, Xmas eve was spent with ‘the boys’ (and of course everyone else) down at the Woolwich Pier Hotel. It was pretty packed when we got there, but it surprisingly scaled down pretty quickly… being less than half full by the time the ugly lights came on and the bus came to take us to the next venue…
Which was the Bayview. After a melodic and scenic trip to the Bayview, we found we had to wait in line for more than 10 minutes just to get in! Once in, we partied and danced pretty well ‘until the break of dawn!’ – well…. Maybe not quite… But it was fun nonetheless.
After the Bayview, Russo and I walked home, dropping Petra off on the way. Sitting on the Russo porch, we saw Nick arrive home, even having a brief conversation with him before he crashed home. The funniest part is that Nick doesn’t even remember it!
Xmas was a typical family Xmas, filled with more than enough festive food than we could handle, although this time it was at Kelly’s place, and it wasn’t as hot as it usually is – The ‘boys’ (Tim and Nick) again also making an appearance :)
After Xmas, I hung out with the boys a bit more before deciding to spend New Years in Adelaide with the cousins.
