Happy Birthday, Happy New Year ...

We celebrated Bo's birthday in style this year. Having your birthday on New Years Eve - the day everyone can't wait to be over so they can welcome in the new year - is not always the most practical for Bo, but it was spot-on this year.
There were drinks on the roof-top terrace at Zanzibar, before an intimate dinner with Megan, Meredith, Chris, Lynnea and myself at Linda's on King in Newtown.
The food was great, the wine flowed and it really was a birthday celebration.
We all went back to Summer Hill to see in the New Year - with champers, the fireworks and lots of resolutions for the coming year.
It was great. And I HATE new year!

Given that the weather in Sydney has been scorchio in recent days, we welcomed the new year in with an early-morning dip at the Ladies Baths at Coogee.
It was a bit tough to get in, especially with the huge swell and dumping waves, but it was totally worth it once you were in.
