* OK. Here's December all in one go: hobbling around as the foot injury finally started to heal (yes, I'm a bit impatient after all that's gone on this past year - I've never had so many medical appointments in my life!!), packing up as I was finishing up my job after 7 years (and meeting with the new Drama teacher, Sonia - she's great!), packing up my house (after sharing 3 different places with Jenn over nearly 6 years), moving temporarily back to Epping with most of my life packed into boxes, doing some planning and list making re: going O.S at the start of February (and booking flights etc), Christmas and my eldest niece Rochelle's 8th birthday, flying to Melbourne for the Boxing Day Test and then coming back to co-host a NYE party - yep it's been fairly nuts.

Highlights were Christmas Day with the whole family together at the beach for the first time in years, the Boxing Day Test (seeing Warney's 700th wicket (and 701st, 702nd, 703rd, 704th and 705th) and Andrew Symonds getting his maiden test century (and then going onto 153), and NYE - a great night with good food and friends.

Hope you enjoy some pix :) Feel free to leave your comments/messages.
