verystormy Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 We have been thinking about going to the fireworks at mandurah, but decided not to. So, instead I have just come back from shopping and will meet my wife for a drink in a couple of hours at Cobblers Tavern at Falcon for a cocktail or three. Then back to ours and I am going to make a special dinner. Whole snapper Asian style with home made spicy noodles and a cucumber chili salad. Washed down with copious amounts of pisco sour and egg nog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will have a mosey down to the local park and have a gander at the bush Dance there, then home for a game of Perth Monopoly me thinks (lightweights we are)!

Redsquare Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Nothing planned for tonight. The Mrs went to Neil Hawkins park on Sunday and forgot mozzie repellant. Consequently she looks like she's taken part in a horrific medical experiment! A quiet night in with some bubbly for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylors4 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 We too were thinking of going to Mandurah for the fireworks, but now been invited to a friends house. What's Cobblers like verystormy? We went past the other day on our way to Cafe Coast and it looked very busy, but had the kids with us, so didn't go in. Do you reckon it's child friendly in the day, not little kids, 14 and 11? Happy NYE all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlaunay Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Spent most of the day baking with the kids. My son made Snickerdoodles which he thought were so lovely he made a second batch (they're like baked cinnamon doughnuts), and my daughter made sugar and salted peanut biscuits. Going to do a Thai green curry tonight, drink some fizz then sit outside, tuck into a bottle of Ron Zacapa and smoke one of my HDM's when the kids are in bed. Probably won't see midnight. Tomorrow we have a houseful. Invited 20+ kids so I'll need to stay sober. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxboz Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Going to a nice little local restaurant beside the beach - The Pickled Fig. There is a set menu which sounds lovely. They also have some musicians playing. Should be a nice night. Was going to go into one of the restaurants or pubs in Freo but though better of fighting through the crowds that are bound to be out and about. Mind you Verstormy's is also sounding a pretty good place to be tonight! Good luck tomorrow Port 20 plus kids is a good effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frets Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well we're up in Kalbarri, so far today we've been to Natures Window, absolutely stunning, and tonight we're going to Finlay's BBQ for fish and chips, then down to the beach to watch the last sunset of 2013, then just a few drinks to see in the new yr if we're still awake!!

verystormy Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well....Cobblers menu looks good but the drinks are appalling. Our place was looking good till the rental holiday home arrived - 20 guys in their early twenties armed with enough booze to be regarded a national chemical weapon. Oh and they have apparently decided to hire a bunch of the local mandurah "working girls". So that is my night sorted - wrongly! On the plus, the pisco sour is amazing to the point I surprised I can still type- long live my wife's brother the famous Peruvian chef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-c Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 What about you Rob? well at home with some cocktails, tequila based to start, lots of fizz in the bar fridge and home made pizzas in the BBQ oven probably monopoly like peanuts but don't have the Perth edition yet Might be asleep by midnight Whats your pisco sour recipe? I've tried pisco, sugar syrup, lime juice and Angostura bitters very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy little Vegemite Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Takeaway for tea (yours sounds much nicer VS!) followed by drinks and nibbles round a friends house, will probably come home before midnight to get the kids in bed, then perhaps more drinks to see in the new year if we're still awake, a lovely bottle of veuve clicquot sent to us by my brother for Christmas Happy new year everyone on PP, may 2014 be filled with much fun and laughter for all!

Akasully2 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Having Friends round ours for a take away curry, plenty of banter, all washed down with loads of beer, wine, cocktails and champagne. Candles and tea lights dotted all around the place. Lovely! Children having a nerf gun fight upstairs until they settle down for a DVD. By this time the adults will probably be playing 'buzz' on the wii. New year will be celebrated by getting the cigars out and lots of kisses on cheeks. Wishing all my PP pals a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year. Xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesw Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 After an early evening BBQ, we went to the 9pm fireworks in Mandurah. quite good this year and it was the busiest I have seen the foreshore for NYE. Home by 10.15 and tucked in bed by 11! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest9824 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Happy new year everyone. The pisco was good enough to stop me noticing the noise Happy new year VS. I must say the Bush Dance was awesome at our park, then the lovely Scottish Piper came at 8.00pm and piped in the New Year (12 midnight Tuvalu time) then Auld Langsign was sung and danced to (always a tear shed when I hear that). An early night for us and quite a lot less alcohol consumed than in previous years, nevertheless very enjoyable...happy new year to all!
