i guess i should recap. we had a HUGE new years... nah it was fun but. there was just luke, tim, me and luke elk. quite subjued really. we hung at luke's place for a while. started to watch 'phone booth' while waiting for elkman, but once he arrived we were off. we went to narrabeen - very very cold water. but kept ourselves amused there for a while. then to dee why for an early dinner - and a visit to some pretty bodgy stores - some cash traders place, a pet shop, a closed charcoal chicken. then to dee why beach for but a moment (although i got a park which was very exciting and unexpected). next we ventured on to manly in search of 'cold rock'. and magically we found it. went for a stroll on the harbour side of manly along that pathway that goes somewhere. then back for icecream, before travelling up to north head to see the 9 o'clock fireworks. it's a bit of a trek for 20mins - no shoes mean very sore feet! i love how you watch fireworks from north head, and the sound is so far behind. everyone held their cheers until the last of the "boom"s were heard - even though the sight had finished about 15 seconds earlier. we chatted with a few poms on the way back to the car, and then headed back to good old cherrybrook for some table tennis, music, television, plenty of food, and the midnight festivities. after those fireworks (with jenny and neil's company also) we played more table tennis (i only won one game out of about five - mawww), and eventually went lights off at 2am after elkman left. although, me and luke, and tim a bit too, proceeded to talk for another 2 hours. and the dawson floor is not the most comfortable in the world. so sleepover seediness has been at it's peak today. but it was fun to usher in the new year with tim and the luke's. hope debs had fun in melbourne. she's such a little party animal!
