Newtown was so quiet today...apparantly there had been some kerfuffle between the council and the Under the Blue Moon Festival organisers and numbers were really down...however we still managed to make the grand total of $277.65! Thanks to Jo for her immense patience hanging around all day, ferrying me there and back, and for making a batch of the best biscotti in Sydney. We finally sold all the sweet things, most of the clothing and junk and gave away the rest...you've gotta love Newtown.
When I got home I asked Ness to draw the final raffle...the winner is Louisa of Randwick...congratulations, the basket will be delivered this week. For some reason the blog won't upload the video, check it out on Facebook.
So that's it for the fundraising, in two short weeks I will be flying off for my three month adventure. The blog will be a lot more interesting then with uploads of the kids and the fabulous city of Hanoi.
To everyone who has supported me financially, with donations, by pet sitting so I could work and simply with moral support....thank you from the bottom of my heart - you all know who you are and I will be cooking Vietnamese banquets when I get home next February.
All the best for your Vietnamese experience Ngaire! Looking forward to hearing about your adventures when you get back!
