Everything changes on New Years Day
Actually, it doesn't.
And from that point onwards.... as I was invited by text on NYE, dropped into town for a lunchtime curry. The new years day curry has been tradition among certain of my friends for years. One of them went to the expense and hassle of marrying a lass with a NYD birthday just to legitimise it. Ahem. Honest guv. Anyway, turns out that Lasha's BD really IS on NYD, so an curry must be had and a curry was had. Myself, Kev, Nick the Nice, The Fuhrer, Sarge, the associated wives and Big Gay Al's missus (the origional; ie NOT the gay one), jolly nice company. Been made to drag down the collection of nefarious drunken photographs for possible use on up and coming 40th birthdays. Was amusing to hear the old nicknames used, too; specifically "Voice of Reason". Hadn't told you about that one, had I. Shouldn't be suprised. Anyway, munched down on a perfect Garlic Tikka with Spinach side dish, yum :o) Back to Kev's for tea, packing and football on the radio before wandering off to Gran's for a few hours, over to mum's to drink tea and collect the cat.
Always a shame having to split the two boys up. For a pair of tomcats, they actually get on very well indeed; Amba enjoys the company and it's good for Gizmo to socialise. Hmmm, me too actually. Eventually loaded him into the mirthmobile, pointed it north and with freshley trimmed mechanics, this time it went Vrooom as advertised. Three and a half hours later pulling up knackered at the door of Fortress Shadey, where the very excited and hyper cat wakes me up four times in the pathetic show of sleep before I have to be back at work for six am. Great.
So all in all? Well, didn't get the distance covered I'd have liked to; didn't see as many folks as I hoped to. It was bloody expensive. The optimistic feeling that something was bubbling under; well, if it was right, it's not apparent yet. But it was a decent enough break'ette. It'll do for this year. Or last year as the case may be.
See ya in a better 2007.
Ah, there you are!
