This is a question I have been asked countless times this year. The same thought runs through my head each time I get asked it - "I don't know, but thankyou Bankstown Hospital!!!"Have just finished another 2 weeks of annual leave and this is how I've spent it:
Nov 24th - BBQ at Di's parents' place - my family came along.
Nov 26th - Dropped Jon to airport, parked my car in Mascot, caught a bus back to the airport to see him off - no money for you Macquarie Bank - Yeah! Di was 'sick' so I took her for a therapeutic drive to the Shire to do a spot of remedial shopping at Miranda Westfield and show her where I grew up!
Nov 27th - Went to fish markets with my cous and her friend from Melb. Did admin stuff.
Nov 28th - Went to Blue Mountains for a day trip with cous, her friend and Paul. Played tour guide taking them to Wentworth Falls, Three Sisters and Leura. Made it back to Sydney in time for BS social at Andrew's place - nice and intimate with just Andrew, Hsiang, Sus, Di and I!
Nov 29th - Had lunch with Jimbo and his sister at BJ Westfield! Met a very cute girl! That evening had a BBQ at the townhouse. Di's cous came over.
Nov 30th - Dec 2nd - Evening church houseparty at Galston Gorge! Got a ride up with Andrew after helping him load all the sound and music gear into his filthy tarago! Drive was nice and we were amongst the first ones there. Can't believe it's been a whole year since last HP! We had a devotion led by Simon on 'hope' on Friday night. On Saturday we had 2 talks on understanding our times, a bible study and free time! Weather was lousy this year so spent it indoors playing b'ball and soccer. After dinner it was time for compulsory fun! Wilson's group did a cool iron chef competition type thing! I was in a group with Andrew, Amy, Joe, Susanna, Carl, and Colleen - we won!!!
Dec 3rd - Dec 7th - Mostly spent at home during the day preparing for carols and doing other random admin/wedding stuff plus watching Foxtel (dad got it for the free 1 month trial!) and dvds! Had 2 music rehearsals on Tues and Thurs nights for carols. Had breakky with Carmen and Jimbo on Thursday at Brighton Le Sands and Ricky Ponting walked in for breakky! Watched The Heartbreak Kid today - dodgy movie man! - almost lost my wallet and got drenched in a storm!
All in all a busy but relaxing holiday! Soooooooooo not looking forward to going back to work but hey, only 3 weeks till my next week off...! hehehe =P
