Welcome and come on in for the last coffee of the old year or perhaps the first coffee of the New Year. Being New Year I can also offer champagne, wine or beer or you can stick to the soft stuff like me.
If we were having coffee I’d tell you that we were going to a dance to bring in the New Year. Roger was going to come although he wouldn’t dance and I thought that was really sweet of him given that he will sit bored most of the night. However, he has been saved by the weather. My call not his. I hate driving in supercell storms particular when it is the first time going to a place and I don’t know the road well. Instead we will sit at home, have a nice dinner, eat a lot of sweets (because from midnight I am back on a diet) and probably not see the New Year in. We will watch the fireworks from round the world tomorrow morning.
If we were having coffee I’d wish you all
HAPPY NEW YEAR
and thank you for being part of my blogging world. You are all very appreciated and although I don’t visit as often as I like to I value each and every one of you. I wish for you in the New Year the fulfilment of your dreams and a safe, happy life.
See you in 2018.
Thank you EclecticAli for hosting our coffee shares.

We are also staying home tonight, Irene. We traveled back from our holiday destination of Clarens today and Terence is tired after the long drive. I am not a New Year’s fan anyway. Happy New Year to you too.

A supercell storm sounds fantastic right now! It would mean it’s warm and not 7 degrees for a high. 🙂 Agree about not driving in it though! We are staying home as well, we always do. Have a very Happy New Year and wishing you all the best in 2018!

Thanks Kathleen. We saw the New Year in happily indoors, hearing the fireworks in the distance. So far 2018 has proved good. Hope you have/had a good one.

We stayed in and watched TV, a fabulous 2012 Paul Simon concert given in London with about 100,000 of his best friends – heard all the gunshots and a few fireworks in the neighborhood around midnight. It’s now 2018 and so far it’s ho hum. Frankly, I hope it stays this way.

I cannot conceive of having 100,000 best friends. Where would you find the time to make them all happy. I think hum ho is good. At least nothing bad is happening and it allows you to relax. Hope it stays that way for you too.

In case you were too warm there down under I can blow some of our 13 F your way.
We were traveling home around 10:30 pm and it was only 7 F, but it got down to 2 F in the wee hours.
I sent some photos to 19@G… did you get them? I think I have three addresses for you 🙂
Best to you and yours, stay safe and healthy and know that others will also be dieting… 😉
