New Years Eve - Glenorchy RSL

New Years Eve is upon us & decided to head up to local RSL for dinner/dance $35 each, walking distance from showground, so can have couple ales & wines & enjoy the evening

 

Got the sparkling teeth happening !!!

 

Denise & Tony joined us after dinner & we had a great night,
even though the band only had one speed SLOW!!!!

Managed to get in a couple of dances

MONA art gallery

MONA - Museum of Old & New Art

Everybody has a different opinion about this museum,
some like it & others say it's definitely not their cup of tea!!!

We queued up for awhile, crowds were everywhere as it was market day & it looked like we would be waiting sometime before we could get in.
 Decided to give it a miss & come back after the holidays

Hobart Cenotaph

Xmas Eve everyone (campers) at the showground got together for a sausage sizzle & chat, which nice to get to know our neighbours

 

Xmas day was quiet affair, to cold to sit outside, cooked a turkey breast & trimmings & we ate alone. It came good in the afternoon & had our usual drinkies with Denise & Tony until it got tooo cold again & back inside

 

On the ride home this afternoon stopped at the Hobart Cenotaph

Amazing what a bit of face paint will do !!!!!
