2024 year in review

In January we had lunch with the family for Mum and Dad’s 70th Birthdays. It was also my birthday later in the month, and we had High Tea at the Camellia Gardens.
February I got my first tooth filling and a friend drew a picture of Nala, which was framed in March.

March was Easter. Although I did work, I got to have Easter Day lunch with my parents and sisters.
In May I went to Fiji for 5 nights. We had an absolute ball…. swimming and relaxing. Had cocktails by the pool, and read some books! There is a video on my YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y759tBaIzuo&t=2s
I also went to Canberra for 3 nights, where I caught up with some friends, and went to a Christmas shop!
Fiji and the Australian War Memorial
In June, I went to the women’s soccer-Australia v China. I went with my sister and her family, and had a great time. I completed my Doula Course!
July was the month I finally relaunched my blog-the same one you are reading today! I also got my Death Doula Certificate.
In August, I did my 30 day blog challenge. We also celebrated the Horses’ Birthday, and I discovered Scaremail. Check out the link to my YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA7f0eZUA00
The horses birthday and the soccer
In September, it was Nala’s 8th Birthday. The Nurses went on strike for better pay and conditions. We had a rally outside the NSW Premiers office! It was heaps of fun! I also went to a PINK AFTERNOON TEA to raise funds for breast cancer research. A friend of mine hosted and we had heaps of fun.
In October, I had a few medical things done, including an iron transfusion.
Pink afternoon tea and Nurses Strike
In November, I went on holidays to Mollymook for 4 nights. I went to Mogo Zoo, and a wine tasting at the local winery. I also spent the afternoon watching some live music at the winery.
In December, I saw the Wicked again-TWICE! I loved it both times! And both times was in Gold Class! In Gold Class you get reclining seats, and can order food and drink to come to your seat during the movie! I am not sure I will go back to a regular cinema!
We also had our Christmas Party at The Brass Monkey listening to a band-The Distractions. A couple of my workmates are in the band. It was a great night of fun and dancing. We even had dinner before the band.
We even had a Secret Santa at work-I got a kitten calendar, eye mask and some smelly stuff for my wardrobe!
I took my parents to see Wicked after Christmas as their Christmas Present. We were going to go to Gold Class but there was nothing available, so we had to “slum it” in a regular cinema!!! We did have lunch afterward at The Camellia Gardens. It was lovely!
So…. HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! I hope you have enjoyed the review of my year.

Christmas is coming
Christmas is less than a week away! I have Christmas Day and Boxing Day off.
I am pretty well sorted for my presents. I have wrapped the presents for my nieces and nephews. I just need to get something for my parents. They want to see the Wicked Movie, so I will buy them Gold Class tickets. We just need tp work out a day when we can all go.
I have Christmas Day and Boxing Day off. I am working most other days over the Christmas period. I don’t mind working!
I am going to my parents’ place on Christmas Day for lunch. My 2 sisters are coming with their kids. Hopefully it will be a good day. I bought my nieces and nephews books! I believe you can’t have too many books!
I have booked movie tickets for Boxing Day. I am going with 2 friends to see Wicked. This will be the 3rd time I have seen the movie! I am also going to get tickets for my parents for Christmas in Gold Class!
We had a SECRET SANTA at work! We drew name out of a hat, with a $20 limit. It was funny because the person I got to buy for also had me! I got an eye mask, a kitten calendar and a smelly thing for my wardrobe. It was so lovely.
I gifted her a tea cup and saucer and some tea. She loves tea!

the wicked movie
On Saturday, I went going to see Wicked part 1 at the movies! I have booked GOLD CLASS at my local cinema. I went with a great friend.
I have seen the musical Wicked 5 times, it is my favorite! I was debating whether to see the movie…. but I was so excited I had to book tickets.
It was such a great movie, I loved it. I think I will see it again. It was great in Gold Class having reclining seats, and you can order food and drinks to come to to your seat at anytime in the movie. We just had some popcorn, and I had a glass of wine.
my hair ties, sorry the top one is upside down.
These are some hair ties I bought to wear. I wore the bottom one, and I gave my niece the top one, as she was going to the session after us with my sister.
I am for sure going again. I do think I have been doing the movies wrong though. Gold Class is the way to go! Only about 50 in the cinema, with reclining chairs. The only thing I wish I had was a blanket because I got a little bit cold. I guess with a movie at 2 hours 40 minutes that is expected!
I am trying to drag my parents to come and see the movie!
I am a Wicked freak…. It is my favourite musical!
