from Iceland
Happy New Year to all my Aussie friends. We still have over seven hours to wait!
Yes, it is going to be a great year! Happy New Year to you too!
I went to another Japanese family in Coolangatta and we watched the fireworks. It was lovely!
Love and hugs,
Yoriko
.... Hi Alice.... :} .....
I slept through the midnight hour and now I'm ready to face 2012.... missed the Royal Edinburgh Tattoo.
I'll finish the mowing this morning and then veg. out by the TV, drink lemon juice in cool, cool water and plan my stitching strategies. We are warm at last in Mount Gambier - I love it. It's a beautiful, still, hot morning outside and the brilliant sunshine is trying to sap every last drop of moisture from the browning grasses..... a proper mid-summer Aussie Day.
BTW.... I've been to Lanarkshire, nearly 30 years ago.
AlmaG.
Love your positive attitude! It certainly will be! Hugs Sally
Alice it is sure going to be a great year
Sandra we need to organise a day with Yoriko Sally and you and I to have lunch.
Happy new year! 40 mins to go here in Johannesburg. Hugs Christine
Happy New Year Alice - woo hoo. It is still early afternoon here, now.
May the New Year bring you lots and lots of happiness, Happy New year to you and your family, hugs Geeta
Happy New Year Alice :)- here in UK we have another 10 hrs to go
I think I may have been the first to officially welcome in the new year. Where are you in the Uk? I was born in Scotland, Lanarkshire, Strathclyde now I believe.
I believe you were the 1st Alice- i'm in Norfolk nr Norwich - East of England, and as your in Brisbane, i'm sooo excited as my longtime friend is over 7th Jan from Maroochydore (nr Brisbane?) Havent seen her since she emigrated to Oz 20yrs ago :)
Ha Ha, I know where Maroochydore is. It is lovely there, I hope you have a good time with your friend. Bet she talks you in to coming to Australia, at least for a holiday, it is the best country in the world.
I know Alice, i was there bicentenary yr 1988- loved it- long story as to why i'm still in UK :( lol x
