Happy New Year

Well 2008 was a bit of a nothing year. It was for me anyway, not sure about anybody else. Hopefully 2009 works out a bit better.

I saw in the new year from the comfort of a lounge room in suburbia (I think that's a song lyric), as I just didn't feel up to the big new years thing. In fact I think I've said this before, I sort of hate new years eve.

However earlier in the night I watched the fireworks from the banks of the river. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to watch from Morrel Bridge near the botanic gardens. Bad idea, it seems we overestimated the height of the fireworks. Others around me obviously thought the same. So down the river we went.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year, Ben.

Do you know what would make 2009 a great year? If the bureaucrats at the Department of Transport got woke up from their stupor and actually planned something useful, economically sensible and provident.

Happy NY Ben. You did much better with your camera than I did. Need a tripod or something to rest it on at least.
