I've just returned from watching the early fireworks at 9pm on City Hill. We did our usual walk, and sat down on the grass at the bottom of Anzac Parade to look up Constitution Avenue to City Hill. A few other groups out and about. The party in Civic climaxes at midnight when the big loud firework display happens. We'll watch (and listen) from the balcony.
We took a walk around the botanic gardens this morning, having morning tea in the cafe there. Very pleasant, even if the rainforest gully was a bit more rain than normal, due to the sprinklers. I released a book there and it was caught!
Did a couple more small watercolours. I'm not much chop at realism, but when it comes to symbolism I'm not bad. Did a little painting for "The Psychology of Sex" which filled a BiblioQuest order and it came out well. Turned the female symbol into a question mark, had a wash of blue to one side, violet to the other.
I'm caught up with books. Will spend tomorrow doing journal entries. Somehow I've managed to exceed 3 Gigabytes download. Possibly something to do with DS playing World of Warcraft for ten days straight.
I think I've done OK this year, and set myself up for a good 2005.
To all my readers, a happy New Year!
