Fireworks, parties and drinking are the hallmarks of a Melbourne New Years Eve party. The city is alive with people and the police are out in force looking for action. The public transport system runs late to take the party-goers back home en-mass.
Around the suburbs, individuals let off illegal fireworks and numerous local parties are held. I pity the emergency services as inevitably the unlucky and stupid make the doctors, nurses, ambulance people and police lives hell. So here's to all our service personnel. May they have a relatively quiet and peaceful end to 2008
Lets all celebrate the coming of the new year. This year it is time for belt tightening and a reassessment of investments(ie bemoaning the losses and hoping the companies will regain part of their value in 2009).
In Melbourne the hot weather approaches, though this year it seems that New Years Eve will not be a scorcher unlike previous years. Perhaps it will rain and refill the water tanks that are being increasingly needed for the vegie garden.
So to anyone who reads this post, may you have health and happiness. Wealth and "interesting times" as per the chinese proverb can wait for another year. Cherish the small things in life that make it sweet - chocolate (free trade stuff of course) and a good book to read while sitting on the beach. Cheap (if books is sourced from your local library) but worthwhile. Also keeping me employed for the coming year
