Happy New Year from Scotland
I think we invented it here, didn't we? If we didn't, we should have.
All those ANZAC types are already there, and we wont catch up for another 3.5 hours. Oh, and Richard - I'd rather listen to the Stolly engine, although the amount of fuel going west would definitely worry me. hic.

New year
Last night, in a major 'honeydo' we went to see a movie, had a romantic dinner at a bayside fish restaurant and then sat on the beach and watched the midnight fireworks over the city from across the water which was all quite spectacular.
The amazing thing about the evening in Melbourne was when we emerged from the cinema at around 9PM the temperature was still around 38C (it got to almost 43 yesterday) and when we got back into the car around 12.30AM the temp was still 34C. New years' day here is forecast to be 37. Scorcher! I can't remember a time when it was so hot so late at night here. Lying on the sand there was a thin boundary layer of slightly cooler air coming off the water which was nice. Anyway, a very happy and productive 2008 to everyone! What's your new year resolution? My dear wife has already made several on my behalf after I informed her the resolution was not to make silly resolutions.

Our NYE
Here in Sunny Ganmain, NYE was very quiet. Most younger people head out to one of the major centres such as Wagga Wagga. Some have made the 5 hour drive to Sydney.
Jo, the Kids & I went to one of the local clubs for a few quiet beers before heading home & watching a movie on TV. Very quiet one, Nothing at all like the hectic excesses of Christmas! Like Keefy's place, it has been too hot to work on the truck. Usually the weather here is a little more extreme than what you would expect in Melbourne, but (fortunately) not so over the last few days. Summer temps here are around the high 30's most of the time unless we get rain to cool things down. Last year we had a full week of temps over 40! That hurt! Winter it never snows here (it did once in the 1950's), our elevation is around 200m I think... Many a frost though with temps down to -3 to -5 overnight & daytime temps of +10 or so. Spring & Autumn are fantastic... around mid 20's during the day and cool nights for a good sleep. Today expecting 38'c. I think I'll stay inside & clean up a bit. Back to work tomorrow. Happy New Year to all MLU'ers! And a special thanks to Jiffy, Carmen, Keefy, Hanno and anyone who keeps this forum rolling. HH

How were the fireworks in Toronto, Jif? Or was it too cold for the gunpowder to ignite?

(2) Dunno whether they have any in winter, would have to look it up; (3) #2 is a moot point though as I wouldn't go down there to shiver in the dark by myself (a ladyfriend had other plans) and unarmed (gotta do something about that) even if they did have fireworks; (4) Suspect gunpowder works in the snow but handlers don't (sissies never served in uniform); (5) Piss off!

Happy New Year
to my MLU friends!
It was about 5 C I think in The New Forest in England (9 during the day), and it rained! We had fireworks at the pub where we went with # 2 son, 10, for a buffet and disco. |

Thank you everyone!!!
Two and a half hours to go until the crossover to 2008, for me, and I can hang my calendars! Currently -14 celcius / 32 fehrenheit, no snow, just cold outside, but I'm warm and toasty inside my little humble dwelling, especially after a nice old fashioned homemade cup of cocoa (Frye's old fashined stuff) Yawning much, very tired today, and sniffling (stuffed up not maudlin ) Spending much time, this evening, snuggled under a comforter and watching TV or snoozing, very comfy and totally enjoying the quiet. I'm a happy camper and will do the special gourmet hot chocolate at midnite and toast you all when 2008 finally catches up to my location! tick tock tick tock tick tock ...................... :witch |
