Hot Wet Australian Summer

I've been putting off posting 'coz i', feeling really un-motivated to do so.
But, with a sigh and a glance at what i'm supposed to be doing- i give you my Summer Break.
Work finished on the 23rd, and after getting rid of a client and going to join my work chums for a Christmas lunch i headed home- picking up Dani's present on the way. It was a hot day, and my bag was heavy (the bottle of vodka really didn't help)

The next week became an orgy of sun, surf and food... Well, an orgy is a bit of an exageration. Maybe more like a dozen sexual encounters that require a few days to recover from.

NYE day was spent with friends, before we went to a party in St.Leonards for the evening. This is where my aforementioned bottle of vodka was put to good use. 16 floors up, we had a view of the famous harbour bridge and five of the numerous syncronized fireworks.

N ew Years day was an adventure. As the mercury pushed 45C we headed out to Luna Park for the Feel Good Festival. Kev and I grabbed a few rides will the girls chilled in the auditorium watching the live bands come and go. The heat taunted us, it was so dry. Its like standing in front of a fan-forced oven on a hot day.
Eventually we retreated to the cooler building to see the music. True Live is a very cool hybrid of reggae, rap and instrumental. Ozomantli was damn brilliant.
Skip ahead a few hours and just as the Beautiful Girls (who went well with the heat) finished a cold change came through, drying the sweat and sunscreen and setting a very chilled out mood for Pete Murray. Perfect end to a very hot (rather short) summer break.

A few days later i was back at work. Now its been a whole week and i'm tired from last sunday's poker game. Its been on hiatus since Christmas, but we got back into thw swing of things the other night... that post comes soon.

and forgive me for spelling anything wrong... really not motivated to get it right.
