New Years 2014/2015

I’ve never really been a huge New Year’s fan and have always preferred to stay close to home so I can walk there at the end of the night. This year was an easy one with a party out on the footpath in our street. We’re very lucky to have some great neighbours and we’re good friends with a few of the houses that live in the street, so about 5 houses in a row set up outside for the party.
 
One of the neighbours likes to DJ so he set up with his DJ tables (whatever they’re called) and got the night pumping. DJ Scotch finger as we called him, did a great job and really made the night fun.
I thought lighting a bunch on fire would look cool, but it just creates a fireball. Oops.
It’s really convenient having a party outside the house, because when I wanted to go and sit down for a bit, I just went in and sat on the couch with Ted. I didn’t want to wake up hung over so I only had a few drinks and enjoyed the night so much more!
 
What did you do for New Years?

Just another Easter..

This long weekend has been both busy and relaxing at the same time. I'm not sure if those are two words that usually go together, but there they are right there.

S's cousins came up from Melbourne and Friday was spent in and around Paddington eating good food and drinking great cider.

 Friday night we saw S's friends band play, then went and had cocktails at Corridor in Newtown (which now happens to be my new favourite place for an amazing drink!) and then we finished off the night at our neighbours house with a few drinks and good company.


Needless to say, Saturday we were all a little dusty but we soldiered on and went to S's Grandmothers house for a late lunch. Since S's brother is a chef, the food was amazing!

Saturday night, we stayed at S's family's farm and we busied ourselves with drinking more cider (I know, that's a lot of cider for one weekend!) and playing putt putt golf...in the house..

yes..pyjama pants

Sunday was low key, we visited my family and then went home where we also spent Monday.

I hope you all had a Happy Easter!!
