The Hogmanay Fire Works

The fire works!

And we’re back home after a happily event-free trip; walk, train, S-Bahn, EasyJet, taxi a final humph up the stairs. But boy was the flat cold, despite having left the heating only slightly turned down, so it was on with the fires and to hell with the gas bill. Needs must. A bottle of bubbly went into the freezer in readiness but jings, no beer! Straight to Lidl but it was shut already so hot-footed it to (an obviously less staff-friendly) Sainsbury’s and managed to stock up. Then picked up a couple of stir-fried noodle takeaways and we were all set for our last dinner of 2023. Classic celebratory cuisine!
S was done in though and took herself off to the land of nod though I stayed up for the bells before turning in, also done in.
So that was 2023; a few good highs, a few real lows; some new friends made, some sadly gone. Always lots of memories. Now looking forward to what the New Year brings.
