Monday 31 December – New Year's Eve, coast-style














Current location: Ettalong Beach
11.11am, Sitting on the verandah. It felt fitting that the last evening of 2018 was spent on the verandah, as it's such a special place for us and the family. So many hours spent here over the years, and where I always picture Dave.
In the daytime today we went to the Races, where we won a huge $2.05 (luckily some of the rest of our group were bigger winners!). It was. super-hot day, then we came home and ate pizza then headed to Patonga. A group of friends were in the pub there, and our gorgeous Ducky came too. There were fireworks on the beach at 9pm (actually a bit earlier as a storm was coming) and we watched them standing in the drizzle with out feet in the sand. It was brill.
After a couple of drinks in the pub, most of us headed home and sat on Val's verandah, where we stayed until midnight, when we lit sparklers and hugged and sung Auld Lang Syne.
