I'm not really a shoppaholic.
I'm going in town again on Thursday to meet a friend from work.
I think most of the shops were crowded so you're not missing much Linda!

Tec,
I've been keeping a diary since 1970.
My day used to start " got up early,went to school" Now it's " got up early ,went to work""

Hello all. I thought you'd all deserted me:-))

The RFDS is incredible and provides a wonderful service.

Tec - I heard on the news that the Sydney Harbour fireworks will be the best ever this year. Apparently it will all be done with microchips - don't ask me to explain:-))

Sue,
Iill be watching Big Ben go dong on the telly!
I get quite excited at about two minutes to midnight. I'm the same when it's two minutes to Christmas day.

In the two previous places we lived, New Year was always celebrated by the neighbours getting together. When we came here though, no one bothered, so we have just had a quiet time. This year for the first time we have been invited out to celebrate with some friends from the walking club

Pat,

Every year I vow to stay up and see the New Year in, every year I usually end up in bed at about 10.00pm.

I can still remember the days when NYD was not a public holiday in England. Back then England had Chriistmas Day and Boxing Day and Scotland had Christmas Day and New Year's Day as its public holidays

Allan

My apologies, Linda, I never said good evening to you

Allan

You are forgiven Allan,

I remember that as well Pat, but as I was teaching, I had the time off anyway

Our neighbours are mostly elderly (I am not included in that bracket)
except for one young family - so all is quiet here on New Years Eve.
This year I feel like waking them all up by doing something noisy and outrageous..........

Tec

Allan,
Try to stay up a bit longer this year!

You could take up the bag pipes and declare Hogmanay Tec

What a brilliant idea Linda - my neighbours would love it I'm sure, especially the old lady next door who has always regarded me with suspition sp
When I first moved here she asked me where had she seen me before, and I replied "Probably on Crime Watch" I think she believed me lol

How does one spell suspition anyway? Oh Dear.

Tec

Tec I suspect it is spelt suspicion :0))

Pat, every year I try, but every year I feel so tired. I'm a bit of a whuss anyway as I can't see what the big deal is.

Perhaps I have seen a few too many of them for my liking!

Allan

suspicion

Now I come to think of it, she has a point Tec!!!

Thank you - suspicion - right - got it.

I am innocent, and have never been on Crime Watch

I'VE JOINED ANCESTRY.........whoopee

Tec

I couldn't manage without Ancestry.

I am sure that you are innocent Tec, either that or you just haven't been caught yet

I'm sure that I have also seen Tec on "Australia's Most Wanted"

Allan

I will have you all know that I have been checked out by the FBI - and cleared.
I was also issued with an Aliens Landing Card which had my mug shot on it and a serial number embossed across my face.
I am very proud of it.

Tec

You are an alien Tec? Which planet are you from?

Gee whizz, another illusion shattered.

Here was I thinking that the existence of Aliens had still to be proven, and the Government have actually been issuing them with Landing Cards.

That was kept very quiet

Allan
