I shall shortly be departing upon a journey to the shops about a mile away where I will purchase wining tickets for both the Friday MegaMillions & Saturdays Powerball lotteries.
Then I shall return home & await delivery of some face masks that have "This mask is as useless as our governor" printed on the front

Later, I will probably be awakened by the usual NYE gunfire. Last year it sounded like opening day on the Somme & lasted about two hours.


Edit: Part One accomplished, now working on Part two while I eat some toast.

Nite nite

on the sloe gin, not sure I'm gonna make midnight............

Sat outside a bar watching a band play inside. Our pal is singer and guitar.

Just had to get shitty with a Spanish lass who was getting way too close and freaking me out. It's fucking rife over there

I imagine the place is absolutely awash with spaniards

Jools Holland with the family and au pair. Eldest kids had a couple of beers.

Fab’ night. Great music. HNY all.

In bed asleep by 11:30 and missed the new year coming in, although the fireworks woke me briefly. First time as a grown up that i've missed it! Anyway, HNY everyone.

Happy new year to you all. Let’s hope 21 brings something slightly better by summer eh....

Same here.

I've reached full grump. I was pissed off with everyone spending more than an hour settnig off fireworks.

They started in earnest here at 11:50, with the final few by 01:30. Some sounded more like siege weapons. However, it was thick freezing fog, so there was nothing to see apart from occasional brief coloured glow.

Us too. We had a Zoom session starting at 9pm with old friends and by 11pm we were so shit faced that we had to go to bed!

Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all x

I have a little pot of homemade Sloe Gin that was sent to me for Christmas by TC. I was planning on toasting the new year in with that but the cloud last night and this morning kyboshed that plan!!

However, it is looking a bit brighter so there is a vague possibility that I might walk down instead of up and go to a lake (that will be frozen over!) and look across to Mont Blanc!

Or, I might just hang fire and hope for a clear night the next full moon and go for a midnight walk then!!!

NYE isn't very cheery for me after last year and I struggled to get positive - and TBF, I'm thinking I might give 2021 a couple of weeks before I celebrate


In fact, I've just decided. Next full moon I'll go out and mix sloe gin with bubbles (still got a bottle from last year's birthday!) and celebrate a late NY!!

They can fly here with no restrictions

We sat outside watching fireworks and a few beers and suddenly it was 4:00.
Oops. Sore head
