Mrs F and the Moff are out shopping and shipscook is out in the bookshops hunting for bargains. I went out in search of an internet cafe and a pub to sit and read my book in for a while.

I walked out through the slow gentle rain and headed to the cafe, when I got there it seemed to have too many people in it and I could not bring myself to go in. I walked on to the pub and it was the same story - although it was not full, there were just too many people. So I turned round and came back to the flat. Everyone is still out. I may get some sleep as I feel tired and its going to be a longn night tonight.

I am also missing Sarah. And a few other people.

So what do you all expect out of this new year then?

Why do we think that the change from 11.59.59 to 00.00 is going to change anything in our lives. It's just some date keeping system made up by some monk after all.

I don't know what I am expecting out of the coming year. I hope its different to this one. Well obviously its going to be different, but I hope its also going to be better.

But I know that is not magically going to happen at midnight tonight.

Hope you all have a good time tonight and that the year ahead is exactly how you hope it is going to be.
