Fireworks

This was a good new year for me.  The credit crunch has had one positive side effect if you're an asthmatic.  Less fireworks.

I didn't have my traditional midnight asthma attack, in fact I wasn't even woken by loud bangs.

I feel positive about 2009 already!

There were some here, though why anyone would bother, given the BBC coverage of the London ones, I really don't know!

Happy New Year!

Things were a lot quieter down here in Portsmouth too, which was no bad thing.

Although I had been planning on seeing the New Year in with a Bang...

... but there were no young ladies available to assist... :-(

Happy New Year to you! Only "successful managers" had fireworks here in the village in their need to show off. It was on the other side and so our Tygr the cat and Nacíček and both dogs were all right, not frightned to death like last year.

Quite a few here; though interestingly, the air was at it's poorest about 6 pm not midnight.
