Unlike last year we did see the New Year in as there were so many fireworks around our area that it would have been quite difficult to sleep anyway. Today it feels much more like a Sunday than a Saturday and when we went for a walk earlier it was incredibly quiet and unseasonably warm. I've had a long chat on the phone with my cousin P and we've ( Read more... )

Happy New Year everybody! We had planned to have a glass of champagne to celebrate seeing the back of 2020 but in the end J went to sleep, so we didn't. I did listen to Big Ben's bongs on the radio and told 2020 to leave and not let the door hit it on its way out ( Read more... )

A bit late but Happy New Year everyone. 2017, don’t let the door hit you on the way out! I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad to see the back of a year so in an attempt at optimism I am trying to look forward to 2018 a bit more. We still have a lot to sort out from selling my mother’s house to clearing all the things we brought back from her house ( Read more... )

I was going to do the "first line" meme, but the first line of pretty much all the posts I made last year was "Sorry for not posting" so I gave up on that one. Then I was going to do "the year in fandom" meme, but I haven't had a year in fandom this year, so I think I'd better stick to wishing everyone a Very Happy New Year! Hope 2016 is good to us

I meant to do a round up of the year but we were out today and my mother's with us tomorrow, so by the time I get round to it the moment will probably have passed! I'm really just dropping in to say...

Happy New Year everybody. Have a wonderful 2014!

I should have posted this yesterday but I couldn't face battling with LJ. I can't today either really but I thought I'd try anyway ( Read more... )

LJ seems to be having a bit of a funny turn so I'm not sure this will post but just thought I'd nip in to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Personally I can't wait to see the back of 2012.

I should have done a New Year post yesterday but I was feeling lazy and my resolutions are mostly the same as usual ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's 2011 as 2010 seems to have gone by in a flash. It's a bit scary when that happens. 2010 did have the notable distinction of being a year when we actually kept a New Year's Resolution. It was to go to the theatre more, or even once a month, and we managed it pretty spectacularly. The trick to keeping New Year's resolutions is ( Read more... )
