Hi Anna, Jim, Laurie, T, JHB, Jethro, Hamzen, Bunny, Mike, Dot, & a couple of other people whose names I don't remember, but who don't post here, there, or anywhere, as far as I know..............
It was great talking to you all in London last August. That was better than any New Year party I've been to in a long time, even though it did contain the familiar elements of shouted random conversations over a blizzard of noise, with total strangers. Well, maybe not total.
It's so much easier to get home too at that time of year, when completely blootered; dawn comes up early, there are fewer dangerous people about, & you can crash out in the back of your car until mid-day without risking hypothermia.
I've never really liked NY, unlike Christmas, so I was pleased to spend this one entirely solo. My wife was at work, the kids were at their aunt's house, & I managed to finish JM Robert's 'History of the World' for the second time in ten years, over a bottle of malt whisky.
No, you can keep hogmanay for me............in fact there's a very good case for abolishing Scotland altogether, but I'd better not go into that one.
Nevertheless, Happy New Year.
