Well Christmas has officially come and gone this year...This like years in the past and most likely more in the future found Tony and I working. The hotel put on a big brunch and a dinner as well, keeping Tony and the kitchen team very busy! It was interesting though because Brunch is not a common thing here in Australia, so most people didn't really know what they were getting into when they booked in for lunch! All walked away, the most stuffed they could have possibly been and raving about the food! I only got called into work because another girl was sick. I worked for 3 hours but made more money in the three hours then 8 ina regular day! Public hoilidays here give a higher rate of pay, putting it at 2.5 times your normal pay an hour! What a great system for us hospitality people! WOOPWOOP!!!! After work, I got to come back to our flat and sit on our patio, tan (as it was now about 32C) and read my book, while drinking my strongbow...LOVE IT. Then that night after everyone was done work, everyone came up for a beer at our place to toast the day! It was a great way to celebrate! As most of you know, Tony and I dont give each other gifts at all, we decided that we are going to do something that we other wise wouldnt have done as a celebration! Well this year, the hotel will be closing down for a few days in feb so we will be travelling somewhere we hadn't thought...where we dont know...when we dont know...but we do know it will be a BLAST!
But...We just wanted anyone reading this to know that we are thinking of all our family and friends and wishing everyone a safe, fun and relaxing hoiday season filled with love and joy! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all...and to all...A GOOD NIGHT!!!!
