NYE plans...where you off to ?

Post by weeksy »

We're heading over 50m away from @dern to see mates we've spent the last few years with on NYE, it usually gets proper messy... the last 3 year i've only actually made it to bed once ! other 2 times we didn't get to bed... Year before last was 8am when we crashed on the sofa... then met up with @G.P in the pub about 12.30.... barf !!!

We'll be in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Not sure quite what we'll do, but it'll be nice to be just the two us.

London on 29th, Kew Gardens light tunnel on 30th, then drive back to mine, roast dinner with the F in the late afternoon of the 31st with some G&T’s, then the village pub on NYE, nowt too exciting.
Happy New Year all.

I used to have my yearly bath, but these days I don't bother.

I do have a grand plan, but it'll depend on the weather, work and if I really think I might be able to walk to the top of a mountain!! LOL Got three friends who say they are interested too but the first thing is that we need a clear sky!! LOL

So, the very loose 'plan' is to walk up to the top of a mountain with a picnic, some bubbles and some warm layers! From there we reckon we'll be able to see the fireworks from La Plagne, the 3 Valleys and probably some down in the valley from here!! LOL

Knowing my luck it'll be raining, but if not, I'll give it a good try :D

M and I will be just up the road from you in Pai.

We have friends from here who are already there and I guess we'll have to pop a beer or two although I really can't get wound up too much over NYE.

Never really do anything on NYE. Possibly looking at M-I-La last one so maybe team up with them but it’ll be, well, boring. I’d rather stay at home and watch a film tbh

In my experience NYE reliably under-delivers.

Don’t forget the cheesy Wotsits :thumbup:

No idea, I’m think we’ve got guests and will either host a small soirée or end up at our neighbours.

Daughter 1 was planning to join us at one stage but plans may have changed, Daughter 2 lands back from Oz on 31st so it is anyone’s guess whether she’s fit to party or whether she’ll be crashing out.

In fairness, I’d be happy sat watching a film with the dog laying by my feet.

Zero plans to go out, I got that out of my system many many moons ago :obscene-drinkingcheers: :obscene-drinkingcheers:

See if anyone decent pops up on Jule's, although doubtful given the past couple of years, fire up the smoker, drink a beer or 2 and mentally reset for another bloody year.

May pop into the local for a couple of early beers then probably stay in and watch Jools.

You'll be very bored, I'll probably go to bed early.

Probably, there's not been anyone decent on the show since Seasick Steve many moons ago, but one can hope.

Not true. They had George McCrae on a few years back! :thumbup:
