Happy New Year!

Well, thats the last of the celebration days over for a while. We can all relax for a while and enjoy the summer (such as it is at the moment...)

I worked with Kat yesterday, and I'm leaving to go there again today. It was soooo busy, and it's hard work carting things around and constantly moving. I worked from 10 till 8, raced home to change and then went with Jill into the city. There were so many people out! Some people in the crowds were really rude, I got elbowed in the face by some idiot who thought he was more important than the rest of us. We were befriended by a drunk girl on the train who had had two bottles of wine, and wanted to be friends with everyone. She was a BIG girl, wearing a very small top and bra and showing her 'friends' dale and goliath off to everyone. Her real friends were sitting across from us, and kept apologising for her behaviour, but Jill and I thought it was great fun. Certainly made the train trip interesting.

We took a walk along south bank, Jill got blisters on her feet, and we confirmed that everything was booked out and had at least a $50 entry fee. Some places I saw were charging around $110 for the night. Blue train had been selling tickets for weeks, $100 a go, at least 160 expected. Nice nights work. I think there will be some very tired people when I get in there.

We met up with Bec and Stu and made our way to the banks of the Yarra at about 11 pm, to see if we could find a little square of grass to fit ourselves into. We managed to find a very little square to fit, but luckily everyone around us was so nice to let us squish in. The fireworks, when they went off were amazing, so much light and colour. There were fireworks going off from a few different places, it was hard to know where to look! It's funny listening to a massive crowd going ohh! and ahh! at the same place.

Getting home wasn't as hard as I was imagining. There were a lot of people in at Flinders street, but this time connex actually listened to the public and ran trains all night. I don't know what idiot was responsible for last year, but I am glad I didn't go into the city at that time. If I was to go to fed square again I would like to book into one of the resturants and have a real party, but this was a fun cheap way to spend new years.
