    Vindaloo today Colwyn.?

    Last nights Television was disappointing. Jools didn't produce a "special " so swapped channels

    to watch Nile Rogers, who I like, but it wasn't New Year quality. The night was only saved by the

    alcohol and food and company.

Well our night went to plan. Unlike Kevin we thought Jools Hollands show was great, even with Ed Sheeran on it. The wine flowed and we were tucked up in bed by 2.00. All set now for the real NY celebrations, kicking off at 2.30 pm. No work for me tomorrow.  ;D

Kev was looking through beer goggles  :D
Thought Ed was good   :) Beth Ditto and Jesse Ware  excellent voices.
George McRae still rocking.

What are you doing for New Year.

We have in recent years gone to Gran's (my mum's) but are thinking to spend it at ours for a change. Mainly because we are bored to death with watching BBC Scotland's idea of NYE television, which hasn't changed in 30 years.

That's funny. Big chuckle on New Year's Day.

The word "Hogmany" seems to have any number of possible origins.

From a single, personal experience a long time ago coupled with tv coverage over many years,
I think it simply means "help me get up".

Party started here about 2pm and ended at midnight with us watching the fireworks from our roof terrace.  All in all, an excellent BBC free Hogmanay.  Oh, we also came home with numerous back packs and fridge magnets courtesy of one of the sherry producers who were doling out free promo items all afternoon.  :)

Having survived Hilary's willful, staggering attempts to drag us both off the path into the flooded river or, lurching the other way, the lake, we can tonight enjoy a traditional post-NYE meal - left over curry (potatoes, chickpeas & spinach) with pork sausages and black pudding. Quite internationalist in this household.

You're right Mercury. Should have stuck with bangers 'n' mash with onion gravy. Hope the Spanish fish stew Hilary is making will make up for it.
