Happy new year, may your hangovers be slight.... I was in bed at 9.45pm - one glass of wine with evening meal - and one brandy with a coffee in the evening. Gone off the drink of late - and I got a housefull of it - gifts of bottles for Xmas.

Happy New Year to to you all. Good party last night at our friends house. Didn't have that much to drink so no hangover for me.

Mrs. V. and I had a quiet time of it again this year - friend that comes to stay has done the same thing (again) this year, and gone out to his better-half's family in the USA for Christmas, so we won't be seeing him until end of this week - at the earliest......
.....as he and the girlfriend now both have Covid with positive tests. No doubt caught the lot in an airport or on one of the flights, which is typical and should be expected....
Anyway, the Mrs. and I have had a nice time, and we still have tomorrow on holiday together, weather is gorgeous here right now, and like Remmington, we have kept the drinking right down to a comfortable level this year. We are enjoying not making ourselves sick on food, either, so all in all, a better time just "chilling-out" with some decent films, jigsaws, playing with the dogs, planning the year ahead.

I've been rough as toast today 😩 Got in about 3:20am then brother in law rang me at 11:30am needing my wet vac as his Peugeot is suffering water ingress.
Feeling fairly sound again now like, had hair if the dog. Think an early night is in order.
Happy new year.

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!
Twas a chilled one for me as well this year. For the first time in a very long time I managed to go and visit my old university friends who have moved up to Yorkshire. Much fun was had, especially when they suggested it was fine for me to park on the grass in their front garden. Problem was the last car to do it was in summer and was a 4WD XC60, not a 2WD V40 which promptly got stuck!
Luckily my friend's MG ZS Electric had enough grunt to provide assistance to pull the car out, though Yorkshire did insist on me paying export duties on the sheer amount of the county I was taking home in the wheelarches

Had another 'relaxed' Christmas & new year, we haven't over-indulged for a good few years, I think it started when we were skint! The grown-up kids came round for long enough to be sociable, not too long as to get annoying! Had a good time enjoying each-others company, took the dogs on enough walks that they'll be glad of the rest when we go back to work!
Despite most people saying 'huh, glad that one's over hope next year will be better', we've had a good year, actually, a good few years - but yes, hoping '24 will be better still. Happy new year everyone!

It’s been a difficult festive period…..
Brought my dad to stay with us over Christmas to avoid him being on his own in the care home…but that was short lived, he decided he wanted to go back a day earlier….but he enjoyed the break that was the main saving grace….and fortunate for me…ended up in AandE with severe pain in my right leg….diagnosed as Sciatica…they packed me off with anti inflammatory tabs and Oramorph…so been of the drink…. NYE was a non event…in bed by 10-30….and so here we are a whole new year to see what happens….
Can’t get any worse can it?

Sciatica not nice - dead legs then spasms - can't get socks on - can't get leg over. Walking is said to put nerves back in place - but first 500/1000mtrs on foot liked you poohed yourself not nice....
