New Year, New Start

Right, I have to make a concerted effort to blip more often.


As predicted in my last blip, NYE was a very quiet affair. Everyone was hungover & no-one could risk driving me to the train station so I could come home. So for the first time since 2000, I saw the NY in with my parents & their friends Bob & Carol.

Well I say I saw it in, my cold got the best of me (also severe lack of sleep) and I crept up to my bed at 11:30. Didn't hear the bells, fireworks or revellers nearby. Suffice to say I was sparko.

Everyone got up this morning in much brighter spirits with no hangovers in sight. Whilst B&C left and Mum was hoovering, Dad & I took Poppy to Aldermaston Manor for a run about with her ball. No-one else around and decidedly soggy underfoot but glorious sunshine overhead. I for one vote for this weather to carry on through 2013 (and no more bloody rain)

Happy New Year everyone
