Happy New Year 2009

2009 is here! Ivy and I spent our last minutes of 2008 with friends at our flat. It was a bit of a reunion for the boys. Nick, Simon and Dixon were here with their respective dates, Carolyn, Jillian and Tarren.

We drank and told stories of old. When it was getting close to the New Years count down we turned on the tele…. in typical New Zealand style there was only movies on T.V. No countdown!! So in the end we youtubed the New Years song and had our own count down.

We walked into town after and hit a couple of bars in Popular Lane and Sol. Square. Sat down amongst the party goers, talked some more and dealt with asshole bartenders that didn’t like serving us waters. A couple of hours of this and we started to head home. Taxi’s were impossible to get, so we walked home.

To all of you who I didn’t already text before running out of money on my phone Happy New Year! I hope 2009 treats you fairly and happiness finds you.
