Slowly dying. Up at 4pm for my last shift yesterday, then flew off the platform this morning. Dramas with flights from Timor to Darwin so missed connecting to Sydney. Next flight is red eye.

I'm down south too, bit further than you, a little county call...Australia

I know a place

If you can’t take a day for yourself at this time of the year Kwacky, there’s something wrong. I’ve learnt the hard way sometimes those lazy days are just as important as the busy ones.

Not a fan of New Year at all....it's a number on a calendar & nowt else....total spacker holiday. I enjoy it a bit more now the kids are old enough to take to firework displays, as in Aussie you can't buy your own fireworks like you could when I was a kid, so they really enjoy it. The Sydney Ha...

Thats an Aussie classic.. Unfortunately now I have kids I can't play it as much as I used too!
