War zone

So much for sleeping in as much as I had hoped to this morning. Bit hard when people are setting off firecrackers up and down the street.

I made some last minute plans to join an expat party in Den Haag. I had been just planning to hang around Leiden, but this should be much better. It's hard not to think back to a year ago though, spending the afternoon in the sun in Sydney and then the amazing fireworks show to ring in 2008. *sigh*

I hope everyone has a wonderful (and safe) New Year's Eve, and all the best for 2009!
