Greetings to all the folks from Greater Britain and Hibernia - I am not staying up until 05.30 tomorrow morning to start your new thread as you pass into the New Year so here it is rather more than 12 hours early.

Enjoy.

One of my Dad's favourite sayings! (Background story for another day and probably Another Place.)

Thank you, Wodders. And a Happy New Year to one and all - as midnight winds its way around the globe, let's hope for a merciful dawn.

And my best wishes for 2012 from the most perfidious (south) part of Albion.
And be it known that in Greenwich we have the One True Time. Just over one hour of 2011 left.
Surely nothing more can go wrong in just one hour?
May 2012 be a blessing to you.

Blimey, Wodders, that was quick ... [Big Grin]

We're not quite there yet although a few premature fireworks have been set off (it's about quarter to nine here), but as we're going out with friends to take in the New Year I'll pass round my virtual bottle of Famous Grouse* now and wish everyone back home all the best.

Only one mile from Greenwich here but spent most of the last X hours in the pub having desperate fun with the diverse local community.

It rained all day yesterday - it was overcast during the morning walk and spitting a little then when we got home it got serious and rained non-stop until dusk - further south in the state there were floods. Today not a cloud in the sky, bright sunshine, glorious day. Being tropical and coastal such changes are always possible.

We were visited by a party of kids last night all dancing and singing and wishing us a happy new year - two fifteen year olds shepherding a younger gang around, going down to about aged 9 years. All boys, of course, as here girls aren't allowed out in the evening, and certainly not in the company of boys!

Quiet and peaceful New Year's Eve. Church bells started ringing changes at around half eleven then the fireworks broke out at midnight. The rowdy night I thought one of my neighbours was going to have took place elsewhere, the neighbour is moving out soon, and the new series of Sherlock is on tonight. [Yipee]

Heavy rain is forecast for today, but plenty of good things indoors to do instead, and the first is going to be potato cakes for breakfast. So a great start to the New Year so far, hope yours is good too!

The New Year managed to come without me waiting up for it. When I woke up at 6.30 am, it was here! [Biased]

(But other people's lovely fireworks woke me on the dot of midnight, but not sure if that counts!

But happy New Year to all on this thread, and I too missed you Amber, as you've changed your avatar!! But delighted to see you, whatever you look like!

We had a good evening out at a friends house, but were home by 11pm as the small one wasn't overly settled in an odd bedroom. I was all tucked up before midnight (as was the small one) but woken by fireworks too.

We are now just off for a (hopefully) refreshing walk.

Just enjoying things getting back to 'normal' after a fortnight of over-indulgence. I've just put the washing on and done the ironing and am thinking of settling down either with a good book or some knitting. A nice cosy start to the New Year.

Hope everyone else's New Year's are off to a good start.

Some rather good fireworks on the other side of the valley at midnight, otherwise pretty quiet. Small numbers in churh this morning though.

I'v got a couple of booklets of Cornish phrases, so apologies to Morlader if it's wrong - Bledhen Nowyth Da - Happy New Year, as we've already had it in Welsh!

No fireworks here and a quiet night all round. When we lived in Stromness (look here if interested) we were awoken by the Hamnavoe ferry sounding its very loud horn repeatedly at midnight [Eek!]

Today, I actually tried to go to kirk but it was closed due to lack of interest. [Disappointed]

Right now I'm feeling very decadent as I'm eating Orkney icecream with Balileys! Ask nicely and I might find some to share.

Serves you right for living in Stromness, doesn't it? [Devil]

Yes please to Orkney ice-cream and Bailey's ... nom nom nom.

Enjoyable dinner last night with friends (although as the restaurant was very busy, we had a long wait for our food, but it was worth it).

I'm off to have a Sunday afternoon kip now before the carol service this evening.

Afternoon kip?

But you are but a young whippersnapper, you shouldn't be thinking about afternoon naps until you are at least, erm, 60!

Pete and I were wondering yesterday how we managed all those years of not having daytime naps 5 days a week as we were working. Mind you one of my colleagues papered over the glass panels in his office door and we swear he napped every afternoon, after lunch.

But as I was but 48 when I retired I suppose I really shouldn't say too much.

- - - -

Pete was nearly mowed down by a couple of Muslim girls on bikes this morning - they came round a downhill bend and there he was in the middle of the road and they were going too fast to go round him on the official side so had to pass by on the other side, shouting "Hi, uncle" as they went.

Early morning Qur'an class restarted this morning, as did most of the local schools so even the paper boys were around a bit earlier - and the 10th Standard kids only have two months left before the big exams!

I would heartily recommend afternoon kips if possible, but that might have something to do with being pregnant and running round after a toddler...

It's a lovely day here, so I think we might have to take a trip out to the park, but I'll just have another cup of tea first.

Who else needs a cuppa?

Lovely day here too, but I don't think I am that far from you. Lousy day yesterday - only people I saw were similarly dripping wet dog walkers! [Frown]

Lots of people out today, feeding the already overfed ducks and gulls. Seems the sun is noticeably stronger now.

Lovely sunny day here too, but probably best not to do too much, as I go back to work tomorrow, which means getting up before dawn and travelling home in the dark for the next few days, with daylight really only at lunchtime. This break has been good: I didn't expect it to be as enjoyable as it was.

It really feels as if spring is on its way today - glorious sunshine and you almost expect to see flowers. I'm so grateful that this time, we haven't had a winter like the past two. I like winter but not when it comes to pavements covered with compacted ice, and a five-minute walk turns into a twenty-minute struggle to keep upright and not slip.

I hope we don't get snow and ice like the last two years! My new job is at an office which is approached down a very steep hill!

We were woken very early this morning by some odd noises - looked out of our window to see that a local pub at the bottom of the valley was going up in flames. Thankfully, no-one was living in it, buut the remains werer still steaming several hours later.

Well ! Good on you for trying. Writing Cornish raises hackles everywhere and I have to say you seem to have one of the more contentious spellings in your book. Have a look and see who the authors are.

In anycase, you have wished "Year New Good" in, I think, "Modern Cornish". "Lowen" is Happy ;-)

I'm here because I am procrastinating.

Yesterday I removes the strings from 3 guitars and a mandolin and has spent time polishing the frets and oiling the fretboards. The other 3 guitars and the banjo will have to wait. What I need is a guitar roadie to do the boring stuff like instrument maintenance so that I can do the enjoyable stuff like playing.

All I need to do now is remove excess oil before restringing and retuning the instruments. So that's the afternoon, and some of the evening sorted.

No chocolate for me, thanks - I've just had a small bar of chikki, the local version of peanut brittle but generally a bit chewier.

Kids back at school today [as mentioned above] so some long faces today as their exam results start trickling in - poor lambs. At least they were only school exams preparing for the big ones in March.

Our 25 year old neighbour boy's leave is up and he is off back to Dubai and work in the morning - it has been great having him around for a few weeks and we will miss him when he has gone but at least with the internet and SMSing he will never be far away.

And a Happy NewYear from Bethnei, too!

We actually saw in 2012 In northern Spain, twice....we were on a ship keeping English time, tied up to a Spanish dockside, so we had 2 New Years. Spanish fireworks followed by French champagne and English New Year. Was good!

New Year's Day was passed on the Bay of Biscay, where I'm sure that one or two people blamed Not Feeling Too Well on the bumpiness of the ocean (which it was, very!). I like a stormy sea, me!

Happy new year folks! We are still in Englandshire, but will return north tomorrow (along with the gale force winds, hooray). Today I have discovered that nowhere in the bit of rural-ish Herefordshire that we are currently in sells pants, although of the few shops that were open several sell socks and tights which is no good, don't they realise people are overrun with socks this time of year but Santa isn't so good in the pants department? Have had to resort to the outlaws' washing machine (it's a bit cold to go commando).

And I though we were overun with musical instruments! Though we'e actually passed the harp (3 octave) to a young friend who's learning, and Darllenwr's passsed two guitars to another friend as he had a new 6 string last year, and is currently awaiting a new 12 string. Oh, and I sold the mandolin (just a cheap one) as neither of us was using it.

Was expecting a quiet day today, then a phone call from my friend to say 'will you come to Shopping Centre on the bus with me to pick up a buggy?' led to a fairly enjoyable day shopping with her (and small person) instead of lounging around at home. I forgot to go food shopping, which will annoy me tomorrow, but I did manage to get some new boots in the sale which I can wear to work and keep my feet warmer than shoes...
edit: how do you have cookies left? we made gingerbread ones, and they lasted less than 24 hours! Still got some christmas cake though. omnomnom.

For reasons I can't explain I don't have to go back to work until Wednesday; I haven't had two statutory holidays at New Year since I left Scotland.

Consequently, I've been a complete couch-piglet today and spent the whole day curled up in front of the Top Gear marathon on BBC Canada ... [Hot and Hormonal]

Somehow I got my left toe caught in my right trouser leg and tripped on the stairs yesterday, breaking my fall with my bad arm - it was a bit sore! It still is a bit sore so off to physio this afternoon but to the city this morning in search of little bits of not-that-complicated cable not available here.

No need to blush about being a couch piglet - you deserve it. But Top Gear? Blush away!!

I am up earlier than expected - I set my alarm to continental time and forgot to re-adjust! Never mind, nice to have plenty of time for breakfast.

Are we not having a Scots' one, like we usually have had? It's better as it doesn't get so big and it's easier to get about it's different area. Please give us one.

Oh Wodders, silly sausage, get well soon. This penchant for comedy falls is most unbecoming (seriously though, hope it is fixed soon).

Bonne Année, tout le monde! (TR: Good Year Everybody)
Our visitors (with a very cat allergic but cat loving daughter) have just left. Lovely to see them - but lovely to be alone again. Said daughter decided to go down with a chest infection so was hacking and wheezing away all morning, inbetween cuddling cats. Yes, I know...but at 11 she's old enough to make her own decisions! (Somebody tell her parents, please...She is an over indulged only child.)

A wheezy and snotty happy new year from darkest Surrey, where I'm meant to be back at work but in fact am sitting at home wrapped in comfy cardies and drinking lemsips. Sadly, both Macarius and I have been ill the whole holiday - I think it's about 20 years since I've been so ill for so long. Macarius looked at me a little while ago and said, 'You look awful'. Thanks, I love you too.

Aaaargh! I couldn't even ring the old year out/new year in and missed it terribly.

It's been a complete washout and now it's January.

I'm sorry you feel so awful, M. - I hope you feel better soon.

I dashed to the city, got exactly what I wanted remarkably quickly and dashed back again - I was home by 1 p.m.! Very successful little trip. We went out into town this afternoon which means I have had almost no nap time today so I think an early night is indicated.

Now I'm going to have an early night but I've just watched 2 Wallace & Gromit stories, including the one with the villainous penguin - well, we all know about them on the Ship, don't we?

Goodnight.
