Start as you mean to go on

(Back-blip) after the party-at-midnight, a sleep and then off to another party, this one at teatime on new year's day itself. I managed to learn and recount a ghost story; storytelling seems to be my new thing.

I had made the brownies the day before, on Hogmanay, but neglected to take a picture of either of the parties. So the brownies it is, for the first blip of the year!

Unfortunately, during the course of the day/evening, I ate and drank such a load of sugar that I was unable to sleep until about four in the morning of the second of January. I hope the rest of the year won't be quite like this!
