Merry Crimit & Parry New Year

Well its been a full on few weeks and A LOT of DRIVING!!! First I had 3 days in Wagga after Fiji to organise centrelink and applying for my fortnightly 7 jobs. Then I drove to Sydney to meet John at a caravan park and saw the van set up for the first time. John seemed pretty comfy and obviously at home. We waited a few hours for Mum who had to catch the bus to Sydney as their was a storm and the planes weren't flying (after flying back from Em's grad in the Gold Coast). Next day we went to Dr Wakefield to see how our IGGs are going, all with the same outcome. We all don't have to keep going with the injections unless I start to get sick again then can just start back on them. He is very 'what ever' about it, i'm a bit scared that i might take forever to get better after a cold again. After the Drs we all went to Aunty Sues with the help of Ken, the GPS.

I went to Peats Ridge to get my four volunteer shifts done. Up early two days in a row to drive (for something different) to Glenworth Valley. It was very windy, hot, tiring and repetitive BUT it saves me $300. My blood, sweat and skin was left in the decor ouch!! Was good to get it done before christmas so I didn't have to worry about it, ie last year we did the shifts during the festival, which is no where near as relaxing.



I finished the shifts just in time for Em and Steve to arrive in Newcastle airport.



Em looking really cool:

Christmas:


Having the time of our lives :-)






The usual Aunty Bub's diary:

Matt with all his family:

SO FULL:

Boxing day was spent with Dad, Jenny, Nanna and Pop. Lunch was absolutely delicious accompanied with strawberry dacaries and BBQ oysters. Was good to see Nanna and Pop, I would like to see more of them and see their new place.




After a few days with Em, Steve and Dad it was time for them to fly back to the Gold Coast and me to go to PEATS RIDGE ready for New Years. This year was different then last but so much fun. SO HOT, so we spent a lot of time in the creak during the day then mozied around the festival at night.

At laughing yoga hahahaha:

We camped in a spot right across from the DUB TENT which is very loud very BASEy music, surprisiy we got used to it by the end and almost started to like it. New years night we dressed up as PLANTS for the dress up theme. At mid night we saw 'Tom Fun Orchestra' which was very fun and ended up on the stage jumping around.

After the festival was over we joined a drum circle at the gates of some armature bongo players protesting after being kicked out of the grounds. They attracted a pretty large crowd, dancing to their drumming, was a lot of fun and meant we didn't get to bed until quite... early.







And here I am in Wagga waiting to hear if I have a job after walking up the street for two days going into EVERY cafe and pub, some I didn't know existed and dropped off my resume (take that centrelink). Every place I went to said the same thing, nothing for this month as its quiet and school holidays.... DAM.
