Bring on 2010

Well I have to say Billie and I have had such a gorgeous break over Christmas/NY. Had some dear friends stay with me from the US for a couple of weeks. They were celebrating their 10 year wedding anniversary which I organised at the 9 o’clock fireworks a decade ago…needless to say it was all about seeing the Chinese firecrackers that night.

The one thing I’ve always had trouble with is taking a decent holiday break at home…how do you shut the office door and just chill out doing “noth’n”? Well I happily discovered that its best to import help. Having guests that are unfamiliar with Sydney summers allows you to be the perfect host and just join them ‘ hanging out’. So it was the beach every morning for a swim, breekie @ Swell in Bronte, Doyles for fresh fish and a chilled Riesling, lazy naps in the afternoon and fun dinners with the barbie as centerpiece most nights.

After two weeks of pure bliss, I was nothing short of fat and happy! A great way to exit 2009 :)
