We need to start learning the words to Auld Lang Syne if we're going to sing at the bells again..

I've got a sack of firewood laid out for the next bit though

The clock will be primed and ready to bong at midnight.

Oh come on, they have to be *whisky* chocolates for hogmany, even if on Porty's tropical sandy beach.

I hope you're getting that festive home brew ready..

Hoping for a repeat Portobello Hogmanay this year, so much better than going up town!

I haven't thought that far ahead! Looks like we'll be around, though and if we don't have the weather for the beach there's always my house. I've still got Epykat's Tesco wine carrier, Mr Epykat's hat and Bob's wineglass from last New Year

Bob only lives round the corner, could he not have collected?

You only had to ask and we would have visited again - you didn't need to steal our stuff as a bribe

We'll probably be around but I would appreciate a few more sausages this year..........

I believe Epykat is more than a bit partial to a late-night sausage.

Do you prefer a small or a big sausage, Epy ?

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 15 Dec 2006, 12:05

I'm kinda partial to a midnight sausage too! Like the big ones you get in a chippie ...

Depends on how wild the weather is!!

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 31 Dec 2006, 19:37

At this moment in time the weather is definitely putting us off.

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 31 Dec 2006, 20:05

Don't really fancy it myself the way the weather is just now, but a quick dash down the road for midnight, a soggy sausage, a plastic cup of sparkling wine and I'll be open to any reasonable offer.

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 31 Dec 2006, 20:59

It'll need to improve a bit before I'd want to drag kids out into a wind like this.

Messalina · Post by **Messalina** » 31 Dec 2006, 21:25

I'm not going over my door for the next two days. Not because of the weather, but because I intend to get myself blind drunk quite deliberately

rapunzell · Post by **rapunzell** » 31 Dec 2006, 21:36

I just wanted to trundle down to the beach to watch the fireworks over the sea at midnight, drink mead by the fire, say hullo in at the pub then go back to bed, but it is seeming a little less likely now. I am still optimistic!

The candles I had laid out for the beach may yet come in handy the way the lights and screen are flickering now..

Can one power the TV/PC with candle-power??

If anyone is going up town the street party has been cancelled

The weather is wild out there! We have the flickering lights too, but plenty of candles!

Our windows are rattling though
