New Year's eve-eve

Steve and I picked up my brother, Brett, from Coolangatta airport yesterday afternoon for his first ever stay at Maryville@Larnook. Our friend, Keith, from Sydney also came over for the night (Keith is up visiting for the Tropical Fruits Dance Party, which we are all attending). Anyway, we had a lovely dinner of slow roasted pork belly (the first time I had attempted cooking it - was delicious) and a Thai beef salad washed down by lots of chardonnay, and followed of course, by Steve's desserts.
Yep, a cardie on 31 December - who could have thought. The last day of the year dawned cool and quite wet, although it seems to be clearing up now, as I sit and type this at 5.30pm. We all headed down to Kyogle for our weekly shopping and rounded it off with brunch at the Box and Dice Cafe.
And these are out 'party herbs' that Steve and I bought from the very fun guy at the Happy High Herbs shop in Uki that we will be using to enhance our partying at tonight's Tropical Fruits NYE danceparty 'Tribal'. All legal, all based on bits of plant. And all beginning with the letter 'e'...how coincidental. So we have empathy to feel all lovey-dovey, everything is beautiful kinda feeling; energy to well, give us energy; eclipse to give us a bit of an edge; and entropy to help us come down the following day. I can't be sceptical, I have to believe they will work, otherwise, they won't.
