Some festive season cheer!

Here is a big merry Christmas and happy new year to you all! Asia and I have returned from New Zealand, where we went to my parents place for Christmas, feeling refreshed (although not yesterday after catching the 6:15am red-eye back to Melb) and ready for the new year in Melbourne. It was great to catch up with family and friends and put on about six kg eating all the great food on offer.

I am quite excited about the festivities tonight, it will be my first new years eve outside of New Zealand and Melbourne looks set to hum tonight. We haven't decided definitively where we will go for new years, although friends of friends of ours are having a BBQ at their place in Williamstown, which looks like the best bet at this stage. It is a 'wig party' so my mission for today is to go and find Asia and me a wig for the evening. Okay, well I won't write too much more, here are some pics from NZ over the last nine days...
