Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 366 - Happy New Year!!

To the Harbour again dear friends!

After dropping all the food, drinks and cooking appliances at Milsons Point about 1pm - with the help of Waz - we had a nap, got in our NYE party clothes (OK jeans and a T) and left from St Peters station with my cousin Ngaire, and friends Fahmi, Ian and Waz for party central.

Got to Milsons Point just fine - air con trains all the day, thus proving we had been very good for Santa indeed! - and in no time flat had everything set up for the BIG NIGHT.

Thankfully the room we were in - the RED training room (my colleague Tracy and her friends used the BLUE one) - was beautifully air conditioned on what was a very hot and blustery day and so we spent most of the early part of the night, huddled inside, music blaring from Fahmi and my iPods through my BOSE sound system and eating all the yummy food Steve and I had bought at Woolies that morning.

As the night went on, we did venture outside more and more - obviously for the fireworks at 9pm and midnight, even briefly moving the food table, and the conversations outside (until it got close to the fireworks) ...

After a beautiful sunset, darkness fell and then the music went a little louder, the air got a little cooler, we drank a bit more and then there were fireworks! (Along with the arrival of Brett and his partner,  and Steve M; Peter had arrived a little after 6.30)

And finally a mix of the 9pm and midnight fireworks taken by Fahmi ...
