Birthday and Christmas sans family.


I spent my birthday this year without family! eep! I organised breakfast with friends at a nursery with a big duck pond and yummy pancakes - not together. Then I had people over for the annual TV on DVD Christmas Specials. You bring your favourite TV series on DVD and just watch the Christmas episodes. Late afternoon, early evening we made our way into the city for some Thai, A look at the Myer Christmas windows.
A got to climb through a Fire Engine and hug a fireman. Nice little edition to the Birthday Present Pile.

We headed off to Docklands for the grand opening of the Southern Cross Sky Wheel (like the London eye in Melbourne). Lots of pyrotechnics and fireworks, music and dancing!




Ashton and I waiting for fireworks. Ashton is a professional ballet dancer and works for the Australian Ballet Academy out of Melbourne. He will move to Singapore soon to work at the Singapore Academy.


Melbourne's big Christmas Tree. A lot nicer than my $14 one at home. Oh well. Miss you all!
