Happy new year! YB stayed up to see the new year in, I stayed up till almost the end of Hootenanny, OB came up after me. I got up at 9, YB at 11 and OB had to be woken at 11:45!

I'm not doing resolutions, but I'd like to try a photo a day, mostly of my view (that'll be trickier this time of year). I also have some to-dos.
