Chrimble '99 | |

'twas the night before christmas, and all through the house, not a creature stirred, not even a mouse (or something). That's because of the roving mad hairdresser that eventually got me - yes, my hair is finally short, with no more Beatle-type mop. You might even be able to make it out in this photo of me at my local tramstop... |
|
People keep asking where I live, so the middle photo is of my apartment block. My window is the dark blob in the centre, at the top. |
|
And just down the road are my local shops, for all my grocery and sunday-morning- coffee-shop-and-newspaper needs. Just down the road in the other direction is the Middle Park beach (below). Damn, I love palm trees! |

Just before christmas we got some spectacular sunsets, of which this picture can only give you an idea - the whole sky was this deep red, quite amazing... Tankers seem to be a prominent feature of Port Philip Bay and, when I am feeling all artistic, I can make them fit in with the scenery rather nicely. Orders are taken on [snip] ! |

It was another busy time at HotelJimmy. First up were Matthew and Katie for a couple of days, until they found somwhere nicer (!), and then Kate, Lyndsey and Rona, who were friends [acquaintances?] of Stewart from his time up in Cairns. |
|
They stayed a little longer than expected, no doubt impressed by my hospitality - even having dinner on the table waiting for when I got back from work. The perfect guests? The only problem with having lots of friends round is the amount of restaurants we end up visiting - here we all are at a Vietnamese one. |
