After the amount of abuse self-served up last weekend, my intention for the week was to lay low. A task I think managed remarkebly well. A few nights in with a book, a night out at the IMAX with a great meal at Wildfire overlooking the Opera House and a long hard Friday where I managed to cull my usual Friday night habbit and instead take a night off the big time to play some 360... yeah, that's right - video games on a Friday night!There was a deeper reason for all this other than just wussing out, the works Christmas party.
So after a morning shopping trip to Bondi Junction, we were ready get dressed up in monotone for the evenings procedings. You can guess the theme of the party from the pictures I'm sure, but then venue was filled with colour, as well as dozens of pool, fussball, pinball and air hockey tables for free-play. Wine, Champagne and several beers were freely available along with canopes and side-show style food stalls.A live band played out some hits, while some Cirque-Du Soleil dancers took centre point in the pavillion twirling up and down their ribbons in sync.
After much smoozing, boozin and eatin the food, all was left to do was dance the night away...
A quick trip into Kings Cross capped off a great fun night for all, though with that much bubbly consumed, I'm pretty sure there were to be some headaches the next morning.
After sleeping out most of the AM part of Sunday, I spoke to a mate on the phone who informed of how great the weather outside was - sure enough I had a peek and the Blue sky contracted my pupils quicker than a typical English Ashes innings (which is pretty quick).
Out of bed like a kid at Christmas, I headed down to Coogee beach for a sun bake and dip. Az, Jazz and Vards were all down there so we had some time to reflect on a great night out at the Hordern.
Righ after that, myself and Aaron headed off for some Lawn Bowls to see out the sunny afternoon in possibly the most relaxing sporting style. There we met a whole bunch of other friends where we ate BBQ snacks, and sipped down on some $9 jugs of beer.
Another Sunday dinner session at the palace put the curtains down on another great weekend.

Looks like you had a touch of Xmas when you were in that Snowdonia in Dubai. (Strange I thought it was in Wales) Bet you had great fun on those slopes. I have just worked out why everyone is so rich out there, because the country is run by EMI rates all seven of them, what with the Beatles and Queen all being on their books no wonder, Royalties......................... ok I'll get me coat.
