Seventh day of Christmas / New Year's Eve

You go for months without a party, and then two come along in a matter of days. One we missed because we didn't want to take the car out in the snow; tonight the thaw has set in, and my sore throat has become a cold. I could demand pity for staying home on New Year's Eve, but the truth is that we have just had dinner with a glass of wine in front of The African Queen on television, and soon I will go to bed with my book of ghost stories, and I don't think I'm missing much. Time to say goodbye to 2005...

( So, how was it for you? )

So it's onwards into the future: good night, sleep well, and a happy new year to us all!
