On the Harbour



Last weekend was my annual pre NYE practice run with Hot Dub on the Harbour and Harbourlife the next day.


It was glorious weather, not too hot but lovely and sunny, however this time, one of the kiddos needed a midnight pick up from their year 10 formal so my Hotdub night was cut short and sober. Still a fabulous night dancing my heart out with friends in a spectacular setting.


The next day we returned mid afternoon for more dancing....that stretched into the night.

My feet hurt and I hobbled home, happy and exhausted.

   








I did cancel my early morning walk with a friend, which was smart as I would have been pretty slow first thing! 

Each night I danced the equivalent of 20 kms, so less than normal on that weekend, but a great workout non the less.










It's my favourite party tradition! Here's to many more!














That's #WBOYC. What's been on yours?

  1. I have not heard of Hotdub on the Harbour. Is it to celebrate a special event?

    1. HotDub TIme Machine is a dj who starts in the 50's (or 60's or 70's) and moves the music through the decades until the present day. He's started having an annual night on the harbour, taking advantage of the Festival set up for Harbourlife (a traditional music festival)

  5. I haven't heard of HotDub so googled it. It sounds like a fantastic night and who doesn't love a night of energetic dancing. Lot's of steps you did and I'm sure you burnt lots of calories. This was a lovely joyful post to read.

  10. I always marvel at your energy. All of that is way past my bedtime (I'm a stupid o clock in the morning person). There's nothing like dancing as the most fun way to get your steps in. And the harbour looks stunning.

  12. Sounds like a great time. This year I'll be fortunate if I stay up to midnight on New Years Eve. We used to have something called First Night, which was children oriented, but that went away in our city years ago.

  13. You took some great photos. It's not my kind of music but you had fun and that's what counts.
