PS Virgin were pretty cool & helpful. All ready pre-booked as the system knew we'd miss our flight due to fog.

Na Shledanou!

Goodbye Praha !

We'll be without mobiles etc for some weeks.

Please send email as we'll check pretty regularly from friends & family PCs.

Watch out for the new Woonona blog.

Diky and ciao ciao,

M, J & N

All packed up and ready to go

Sitting on pillows, laptop on a cardboard box. Yesterday the storage people took away our air cargo...655kg. The apartment is virtually empty, being stripped of all furniture as of midday today. M has just gone for take away at the local Chinese.

N's last day of school was tearless for her; only Claire succumbing to tears during the leavers assembly. I too had to keep tears back as my mate Christine gave me a thank you gift and signed T-shirt at assembly too.

Christine and I went dancing on Friday night, to a performance by Brutus at a packed out pub near Narodni trida. After telling a few Czech guys we were gay to keep them away, we were later invited, by some 20 year boys, to a gay club afterwards....we only left there after dancing, during fits of laughter, to the Czech version of YMCA.


Thursday night I said goodbye to all my Czech friends (from TEFL days) at the Konvict pub. Then afterwards went to the expat.cz Christmas party (karaoke dance party) near Charles Bridge,where I said goodbye to a lot of my Housewives club friends.

My Prague Team

The're an alright bunch. They gave me a 2007 Calendar with all the tech teams for each month. That was a nice thought. Here's the front cover picture.

 

A Good Year

Well, it's pretty much over now. Last week, lots of parties and farewells. Final packing up & heading for the airport next Tuesday morning.

M had another good year, ME+ and juicy bonus to come, so the AU coffers look good :-)

Below are some pictures of one of the the best Xmas parties I've been too. Not just my farewell but everyone really, really enjoyed themselves & partied hard.



Victory !!!

My replacement on the right, Daniel.

If you'd like to see a nice movie about a stressed out banker with all the gadgets fall in love with the French provinces and a local lovely lady, go and see 'A Good Year' with Russell Crowe. Very nice, chick flick that the boyz with the toyz will relate too.

Ciao.

Mikulas

Mikulas day was good to N. Only one potato! She must have been good this year.

We wondered down to the Christmas markets at Namesti Miru for Mikulas celebrations...it's so pretty, but so busy with numerous devils, angels and Mikulas'.
