Totally unexpected

I went to my office Christmas party last night, which was unexpected on several fronts.

Everyone was in excellent form despite being a bit unsettled by workplace restructuring.

And the party was held at the most amazing spot – YHA The Rocks.

YHA The Rocks is such a surprising hidden gem. It has stunning rooftop panoramic views of Sydney Harbour, Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. And it’s built above archaeological remnants of the historic precinct, which you can gaze down upon from the rooftop.

I may have had an Aperol Spritz or two …

And I may have motor-mouth talked at people a lot.

How pretty is this view, though …

And rooms start at $140 a night. Bargain. 10 out of 10 recommend.

I love The Rocks, I would live there in a heartbeat if I had a spare two mill to spend on this little beauty that’s for sale next door to the YHA …

How cute is the kitchen?

While the two Aperol Spritzes went down a treat, I’ve decided having two strong flat whites during the day was a big mistake. I suspect I am definitely lactose intolerant.

Bleeeeeeeergh. Not that it stopped me socializing up a storm.

PS In other news, I am beyond excited that a Magic Faraway Tree movie is coming next year.

OMG! Huge!
