Friday night
Casual drinks with J. at the Robin Hood Hotel (up the road) Great little catch up, a little pressie exchange over a bottle of our favourite faux champers. Home by a decent hour as planned.
Saturday (Christmas eve)
Where did the day go? Before I knew it I was running late for cocktail hour at The Dolphin Hotel. We enjoyed a cocktail each which took too long to make (they should bring the cocktail to the table. Service?)
I had intended on joining V. and the girls for a drink at Cabana Bar, but the streets around Surry Hills and the city were bare (what would the North be like?). I went to I.'s new abode, well where she is house sitting for the next month. The house is amazing! 3 story waterfront in point Piper, 2 outdoor pools (as we all know 1 isn't enough) private jetty and cruiser, fully equipped gym and billiard table, Ohhh the list goes on... We had pizza and a great bottle of wine.
Sunday (Christmas Day)
Up out of bed bright and early, the leg of lamb in the oven, prepare the vegies to follow. The last tidy up of the house. 11.30am before we knew it, my sister and nephew were due to arrive, cheese, pate, dips and crackers ready. Food, food, pressies and food, after a few hours of eating we all went to my aunt's house for dessert. Yummo! We arrived home approximately 8.00pm there was no way I was making it another celebration that night, camped on the lounge and laughed my self silly watching "Bad Santa" (unsure if it's the most appropriate movie for Christmas night)
Monday (Boxing day)
I paid $6.60 for a smoothie! WTF? Cafe Bondi, Bondi Beach. Ok it was a damn good smoothie, but not worth $6.60! Lucky I had Christmas Day leftovers for lunch ;-) Our destination was the beach, great weather = too many people at Bondi. I was with a few school friends, MS. MS and 1 blast from the past, SS, I hadn't seen her since School, 9 years! She was living in Indonesia for a few years, married and divorced now back at home with mum and dad. This house I have the fondest memories of pool parties between the ages of 8-14.
The Sydney to Hobart races kicked off and there were so many people in Dover Heights trying to obtain the best vantage point on the cliffs, the 4 of us girls go straight in the drive way make a bee line to the pool, strip down and jump in. Fantastic. Bonus. We had a view of the yachts from inside the pool!
Later that night I had drinks at The Golden Sheaf at Double Bay with H. Great night. I met a boy, a cute boy. Yes, I do have his number ;-)
Tuesday (the public holiday AKA the biggest sale day of the year)
I battled the crowds, only for 2 hours that's all I could handle. My pre-Christmas shopping instructions need to be leveraged to post-Christmas sales. Insane! Never again!
Of course I pick out the only pieces not on sale.
