Watch it every year and try and drink along to the butler. Miss fireworks.

I loved reading this and the bit about the time you had to pick mum up from the front of mitre 10 because she stormed out while Willisee was on, oh that made me smile big. <BR/><BR/>You are a fabulous tale-teller with excellent observational skills!

I love the literal video of Take On Me on Youtube though. I guess I'm quite lucky, my family, mostly, is now Mums side, and they are all fairly normal. If Dads side was on...god, it'd be disturbia...<BR/><BR/>New Years Eve? Don't know, not a massive NYE fan, in Hobart it's violent and funless, but New Years Day, break out the lime spiders!

We overindulged on the alcamahol but the food was slow and steady. Nobody passed out, nobody decked anyone and only my niece had a Twister Scram huff when my nephew belted her off his target. (they're kids). All in all a great time was had by all. So Miley, what's on for New Year's eve?Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-87613019767476726072008-12-26T04:05:00.000-08:002008-12-26T04:05:00.000-08:00Sleep ... the welcome gift of Christmas the world ...Sleep ... the welcome gift of Christmas the world over zzzzz<BR/><BR/>... what about sleep talking - I seem to recall one or two conversations from Christmas Pasts that I now think was such a happening.Bimbimbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427788003822538655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-73175786692233653442008-12-26T03:45:00.000-08:002008-12-26T03:45:00.000-08:00I can certainly understand how face-to-face conver...I can certainly understand how face-to-face conversation is a lost art.<BR/><BR/>Myself, I'm more comfortable nowadays to simply chatting via the e-mail, or on the extremely rare occasions, texting. Somehow, my conversation skills have eroded to the point of either simply delivering blistering one liners or simply griping about the lastest stupidity be foisted onto me by an indifferent work staff.G.
