As I mentioned a couple of days ago, we went to the beach for New Year’s Eve this year. As with every year, they have fireworks there and I thought I’d video it. It’s only on my digital camera so the quality’s not great, but I still think it turned out ok. I didn’t have enough room on my card to video it all in one go, so I did it in segments and I’ve uploaded the last segment to YouTube in case you want to have a look. It’s only a few minutes long.
The only bad thing about it was a woman behind us repeatedly saying “there’s something missing”. Stupid whiny cow. So it’s not the Sydney fireworks, but it was still nice! Anyway, I don’t think you can hear her in the video, so that’s good.
It was a good night - some fantastic fish and chips on the beach (well, on the grass near the beach), some ice cream and a couple of arrests while waiting for the fireworks and then the fireworks themselves all made for a nice night. Alas, we didn’t completely escape the drunk teenagers, but the spot we chose to watch the fireworks didn’t have any, so it all worked out well.

Nika: It was quite good - certainly better than battling the crowds in the city!
I do like Wordpress. I started out with Blogger, but it went through a period where it kept losing posts, and Haloscan (Blogger didn’t have its own comments system at the time) kept going up and down as well, so I just got sick of it and moved to Movable Type. I then ditched that when I found you couldn’t delete multiple spam comments in one go (maybe it’s been updated now so you can), and moved to Wordpress. I’m still happy with it, and don’t have any need to change at the moment.

oh the beach for new year? Now that is very exciting! We had minus degree temperatures, least it kept the ol’ hair flat. Glad you had a good time

Missfee: You’re alive! Yep, the beach was great! Heaps of people but no hassle with public transport or trying to get a taxi as we drove ourselves.
