Sounds fantastic, apart from the godawful concoction you were imbibing
:-)
Most of the Hogmanay street parties were cancelled in Scotland this
year thanks to the weather, the only one which went ahead was at
Aberdeen starring Wet, Wet, Wet. Which shows that God has some kind of
sense of humour at least.
We started with red wine and moved onto Laphroig, mainly for the
antifreeze properties. Thinking about it we might have done better with
a nice Austrian white :-)
I find myself disconcertingly pleased to hear from you, have a good
2007.
