PHOTO-A-DAY DAY 365 - 31st December 2014 ...the LAST DAY .... My best bits of 2014

The photo for today is of the fireworks in Sydney at 9pm via the ABC blog.

It's now officially 2015 and all is pretty quiet here at the Rail.

The doggies are both sleeping and not at all worried by the distant pops of fireworks.

My best bits are no doubt already included in this epistle of daily entries so I don't see a need to repeat photos here. They probably would include the ongoing interaction with my dear friends - quilting, chorus and now U3A. And also spending tme with my lovely family throughout the year. It is great to watch the grandchildren grow and develop into their own personalities and to watch their parent 'parent'.

Then there were my 3 trips O/S, my bilateral arthroscopies and the purchase of my ebike which I love.

All I need now is to restore my legs to how they were last year and it will be ALL GOOD!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all.

Noice!
