Well, it's the new year and I hope everyone's Christmas and New Year were wonderful, full of love and presents and kisses and hugs and family and friends.
Xmas day was awesome here. I went skiing (Jason went snowboarding) up at Mt Norquay (not pronounced like Torquay for those at home - it's pronounced Norkway) - which is the closest ski hill to Banff. It is about a 10 minute drive up the hill. I stayed on the magic carpet area (for those who haven't yet read my earlier posts the magic carpet is like a little escalator that has rubber strips along it and it takes you up a small hill where you can go slowly and learn to ski/snowboard). But the magic carpet at Norquay is a bit steeper and a bit longer/bigger than the one at Sunshine.
We were up there for almost 2 hours and it was great. Definitely not something I will ever get to do at home - although I did read on the net that there was some snow in Tassie on New Years Day.
After that we went to Adam & Lorraine's for dinner. Roast Beef and all the trimmings - it was good. We did the present swap - I got a voucher from the local book shop and Jason got chocolates, socks and a hoodie.
All in all, it was a great day.
New Year's Eve I had to work until 9pm. My boss, Colleen, bought alcohol for all of us who worked so we sat and drank until it was time to see the fireworks at midnight. I was very drunk but the night was good.
Anyway, that's about it at the moment - will post again soon.
Ciao
