Happy New Year all Blippers

Some of you Southern Hemisphere types and those way east of the Greenwich Meridian will already be there - how's 2009 looking from your side? :-)

Hope you all have a safe and happy New Year/Hogmanay, that you're able to spend it with family/friends and that 2009 brings you all many blessings.

(I bought one of those 5-quid-build-a-gingerbread-house kits a few weeks before Christmas, partly thinking I might have a small child visitation at some point and that it would be a fun activity to keep some little ones amused, colds and 'flu conspired to defeat that, so last night I put it together myself ... now I only have to transport it across the country in one piece on Friday...
No idea what it'll taste like for a fiver, but I'm quite impressed with the outcome!)
