HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Yep, the old year has gone, in the blink of an eye (or at least that is what it feels like!!!), and 2009 is here already, with all the gloom and doom predictions abounding.

I started the New Year the way I want to continue it every day - with Husband!! Mind you, we also had a friend over for dinner - T is usually at home in Ireland at this time of the year, and this is the first time in ten years that he has NOT been home for New Year. So we invited him over, and Husband cooked a scrumptious roast beef and roast potato dinner. My contribution was stir fried vegetables, and a BIG appetite. Ate so much that I didn't have any space left over for the mince pies for dessert! We sat and yakked away till midnight, toasted in 2009, then continued yakking for another hour or so. Nice, pleasant and relaxing.

So, to everyone out there in the big, bad, depressing world, I wish for all of us that, despite the gloom and doom, the year ahead will still be a great one!

Till next time... have a good life.
