Given it’s going to be our last New Year’s Eve on our own, and the last couple haven’t been so good (we didn’t do anything last year, and the year before I had a broken foot and wasn’t very mobile), so we thought it would be nice to spoil ourselves this year and do something really nice. We had wanted to get tickets to the Botanical Gardens where you got a hamper included in the cost of the tickets, but when the tickets came on sale we didn’t have any access to money and when we finally did have access the tickets were sold out. We were both quite disappointed.
About a month ago we both rang and left our name and address to go into the draw for free tickets from the RTA for standing on the Cahill Expressway to see the fireworks. Yesterday, in the mail, I got two letters from the RTA. I thought it must be two speeding fines or something, but when I opened them I found that we had won tickets to both the 9 pm and the midnight fireworks. YAY! So we’re doing something good this year for New Year’s Eve!!
