I will be back in Sydney for New Year's Eve, landing at 4.30pm , mere hours before about 10 friends descend on my apartment for a relaxed night of BBQ food, dips/chips and pastizzis and enough wine to gently lubricate the dying hours of 2010 out the door!

Whether 2010 has been an annus horribilis or a year extraordinaire for you, I hope that 2011 brings with it much happiness, fun, great times with friends and family, and a distinct lack of hedgehogs in your pants! (Yes I am angling for weirdest New Year wishes of the blogosphere and I am pretty certain I have it sown up!)
