Another Christmas celebration, this time it's the beach walkers breakfast...Pauline, Marjolijn, Maree, me, Julie, Margot and Juliet (Mandy kindly took the photo). Everyone brought tasty dishes to share and Julie brought the champagne. Happy days.

More Christmas celebrations...this evening I went to Kailis' restaurant with my new work mates for our end of year celebration. It was a very pleasant evening and nice to get to know some of them a little better. West Leederville was packed, took this photo of one of the lovely old buildings, looking especially beautiful with all the lights shining. 

What a fun day I had today. It was our Christmas golf game and party day. Jessie, Jane and I played together, unfortunately Nola couldn't join us as she had to rush into work but...

...she could make it for lunch. The theme this year was "The Movies'" and we dressed up as the ladies from "Hairspray".  I thought Valerie, Jenny, Jan and Irene looked fabulous  as the nuns from "Sister Act".  We were all up dancing for hours after lunch, a very successful Christmas party.

Here are a couple of pretty photos that Pete put up on instagram of the Cocoa Golf Resort in Japan where he is at the moment with Gareth...looks gorgeous.

The stunning bright yellow of the Nuytsia floribunda (known locally as the christmas tree) against the bright blue sky on our golf course today....

How lucky am I to work on this beautiful campus...

Waiting for our guests...

Celebrations tonight for Natasha's birthday...

It was a perfect night to eat outside and we all seemed to have a good time. Jo and Ash joined us and Mandy and Graeme as well, of course.

The beautiful pine trees that are in and around Curtin University....years ago this land that the university is on was the Collier pine plantation. The trees were planted in 1925 by the WA Forests Department.
