Big Day Out 07

Gutted 4 you if you didn't go to this years big day out. Had I paid 3 times the amount I did there would be no regret! Yes it was ooohhhhh sooooo gooooood! The day started on a good note for myself, Paul and Alice with Minuit. From there we waited for ever for the toilet, we quickly learnt that standing for 15 min in the men's que was the only option as the woman's could have taken us hours. After getting some lunch (yes we avoided anything kebab like after new years) we walked over for The Tutts, really we would have gotten more enjoyment sitting in a puddle of water. Paul wandered off for a couple of hours wile Alice and myself went to see My Chemical Romance, quickly followed by Lily Alan. Lily was fantastic! It took us half of her show for us to push ourselves to the back of the front 1/2 of the boiler room there was that many excited people! We then met up with Paul and Edward for dinner. The Killers were amazing, so much so that I could almost have a lil crush on them now.....aw. Myself and Alice ventured back to the boiler room to see The Streets. They were a million times better than the last time I saw them! To be honest we almost skipped them as we were getting tired, thankfully we didn't as they were so good that they created enough energy for us both to have a little dance. It was dark after The Streets so we found the boys and sat while they danced to Tool. Home to bed.........how the hell did Alice manage to go to work the next day? I must be getting older cause I was sooooo tired from my Big Day Out fun!

Awwwww LILY......isn't she cute!

New Years in Gisborne

This year myself, Paul, Alice and Chrystal took a 6 hour drive down to meet Tony and Alana along with a few others in Gisborne. We complained about the lack of sleep because of the noise in our camp site so Paul took us for a walk over to the larger one. What a mess!!! There were people running about everywhere and not a space free from rubbish. One of the girls staying in that camp site said that they hadn't slept for 2 nights because of the noise so after seeing that our complaints to to thanks. On the 30th it was Chrystals birthday. Mike and his friends arrived that night and we all went out for dinner. After 2 hours and the people at the next table walking out after making a scene because food took to long and then they didn't get enough chips out food arrived. The rest of the time was spent with early morning walks to the dairy with Chrystal and Alice for our coffees, at the beach, sleeping, chatting and lots of drinking in the sunshine.

Come New Years eve the weather decided to talk a turn and it rained all afternoon and night long. Not too good as we were outdoor at Rhythm and Vines and got totally soaked! More bad luck with food as Myself and Paul ate a kebab and was sick with food poisoning and slept for more than 20 hours straight.......we were happy to have rain that day! Overall a great new years if it had of stayed sunny and we didn't get sick i would say the best ever!

Best Christmas lights

Really right now I wish I was in bed sleeping. But no thats really not possible due to the volume of my brothers music for the small party he is having. Happy Birthday to him tho! So instead I'm up writing about the Christmas lights. To the average person not so thrilling, but to me, as you all know I get some over the top joy when it comes to bright Christmas lights in the form of Santa. We found the best house ever for Christmas lights display in Mirangi Bay. Here are the pics...

They even had a foam machine going for the snow......not that u can see it in the pic

Christmas in the park

Although it rained for most of the night we managed to stay dry under Pauls sun unbrella. Lots of nice wine, good food and great company made it a memorable christmas in the park!
