Port Macquarie Christmas


Hi guys well Christmas has been and gone hope you all enjoyed the festivities and Santa treated you well. As usual a few kg's have hit the waist line though luckily I'm keeping up my running so hopefully it will all slide off.

I'm so glad work has finished, it was manic there for awhile, now it's just time to relax. You'll see in my photo's my end of year work lunch @ Finnagin's it's a local Irish bar.

It was a really sunny day, I got a bit too much sun and stumbled off home early. Then slept for a record 12 and a half hours straight. A couple of the other's suffered the same fate, strange really not all of us had that much to drink.

Christmas eve came and I went out with Ken and Robbie, Ken is from Country Energy and has been in Port for 5 years and Robbie is a local councillor and press secretary for the deputy prime minister. Went to the beach house and boy there was some talent there, everyone must of come back to see their friends and families in Port.

Saw Tania (Blair's cousin) and her crew there to and had a chat with them, turned out one of the girls Carol previously worked with Jo (my boss) and we had a big old chat. Everyone that has worked with Peace is usually from NZ so it was nice to catchup with a true blue kiwi. Tania invited me and the boys around for a BBQ on Thursday, Cam and Leon arrive here then so that will fit in nicely.

The girls and Robbie left around midnight and me and Ken thought we'd check out the local bar Macquarie, after being there ten minutes I decided the crowd was just to young. The medium age was 18 and so we called it a night and got to bed before Santa came...

Well I'm still waiting for Santa, he's on a late schedule this year, guess that's what you get when you live overseas :) Melissa (sis) hasn't had to many presents from me lately so I got her a big one this year thanks to Matt's (Mel's man to be) great idea. Anyway so yeah I got a towel for Christmas from Jo (boss), thanks Jo. She made a lovely lunch and dinner for Christmas, Ken came over to and we all wore those cheesy hats you get in cracker. The weather turned a little funky and I got some lovely shots of the clouds.

It's boxing day today and people from Sydney are meant to arrive and fill up every piece of spare accommodation in Port Macquarie. That's at least an extra 30,000 people and that's double the population here, so yeah wozzers, traffic galore apparently.

Hope you are all doing well, Merry Christmas and a Happy new years.

Love Jamie
