A year nearly over, a hair cut, a road trip and the start of end of year parties

The end of the year is rapidly approaching and everything seems to be getting hectic at work and socially.

Was going to go over the year but can hardly remember what happened last month. The hair was starting to get a bit long and so thanks to Laura now have a new haircut that should last me through to the winter possibly even the next summer, though I think that might show some receding hairline.

Jess and Rimsy had a house warming with probably the worst weather we've had in a long time but was a brilliant night and kept warm by crowding round the fire. Great place Jess and Rimsy, thanks for the brilliant hospitality.

Pinko, Jen, Roberts and I headed across to Orange for Ange and Ant's housewarming in Orange via Marks place in Bathurst, think nearly drank Mark out of his beer yet again, Thanks for the great feed and beers. Trialled Dave's new pouring system for the home brew kegs and after a few little bugs got it sorted and now the kegs are portable. After arriving in Orange, caught up with everyone and settled down for a great day and the weather even stayed reasonable all day, pretty good for Orange. Ange and Ant put on a great night and the breakfast definately was good for me but not sure if helped on the diet front, Thanks Ant & Ange.

Christmas parties have started and we had the GRDC christmas party out at Pialligo Wine Estate, good night and great to catch up with everyone out of work, alot quieter for me this year and pretty sure thats a good thing especially as our housewarming was the next day. Had a small gathering for our housewarming by the pool and bbq then to our apartment for some drinks and then out to town, Thanks to those who came it was a great night, those who couldnt make we will have to organise another gathering in the near future and really utilise the pool.
