They were pretty good ones Marya.
Ali and I enjoyed them and it's just as well you went first as you would have been a bit outdone by the official ones from where we were anyhow.

Happy New Year everyone

Would have liked to have had a stroll along the prom to see all the fireworks but the dog is too stressed to be left so will just have to continue watching Jools on the box.

We made it along the Prom about 12.45 a.m. Was it just me or did it feel as if there were more drunken teens (mostly 14/15 year olds) around this year? We saw an ambulance leave and heard that a teenager had 'glassed' another teen and an adult.
Not the atmosphere that I remember from the past couple of years

Certainly were at about 9.30 at various places along High Street and Prom, although didn't see many on way home at 11.30. Thought they'd been run out of town, but obviously not! Pity that there was violence as a remarkable number of children were at midnight about and it would be a shame if this year put people off next year.

Well, the Computer siezed up on Hogmanay and, of course, Mrs. Rathbone had vital work which she hadn't backed up and which is needed for work on Tuesday, so my New Year's day was spent hacking into the computer via DOS and recovering all the files which Mrs. Rathbone had been working on, locating the problem, fixing the **** thing and then putting all of her stuff back on again.

It's not too difficult to do that on a couple of Laphroig's and a mince pie.

Rathbone, I'm impressed. You're obviously a man of many talents with a big heart. Do you think you could find Bath Street for me?

If you Google Bath Street, there are 6,970,000 sites which might help you!!!! Of course, it depends if you're coming from the Prom end or the High Street, (Mentone Avenue and Straiton Place merely add to the problem). I usually ask the taxi driver just to drop me off at the George.

Think I'll just let sleeping dogs lie

Well,I'm still feeling a bit rough with this cold I've had over New Year but I've just managed to bake my first cake of the year................for the dog,it's his birthday today. Mr T is just on his way out to see if he can get some cream for it. He'll kill me if he finds out I've told anyone that

He's a big softie really
