happy new year

hope it's a really good one for you. i was lucky enough last night to have a lovely meal with great company at my fave restaurant. pondok bali of course. my friend from perth and her family were over for Christmas and although we've never met before we had a lovely time. i know that sounds a bit strange, let me explain. years ago i contacted a woman from the bali forum i go to about a hotel. she was staying there at the same time we were and said we'd meet up and have a drink. very nice hotel btw. anyhow, as it turned out we missed each other although we must have been in the next room and had breakfast each morning at the same place. obviously at different times. to cut a long story short we have kept in touch by telephone and email and of course facebook and we finally met face to face and she's just as lovely as i thought she'd be. she's back home in perth now, they left very early this morning. after i left them at their hotel i called in to see my son and his partner and watched the fireworks with them as well as checking out the blue moon through their telescope. wow! what a site that was. gorgeous. so again, i hope your 2010 is filled with luck and joy.
