Vivaldi - The Four Seasons

Another month gone - and a particularly traumatic one...

Up at a reasonable hour...

Late morning, for some exercise for Pam (it's important she exercises), we walked to Tesco for some essentials...

Pam's hair is fast growing...

As we approached, we heard the fire alarm and saw several hundred last minute New Year's Eve shoppers making their way to the car park...

Luckily, just a drill - and, within twenty minutes or so, we were inside...

Post lunch, a wee trip round to chum Suzanne's home, where we met her mum and stepdad and re-met her husband Chris, the best putter-upper of emergency bannisters in the business and their lovely kids Olivia and Megan...

Megan was on her usual mischevious but entertaining form while Olivia was sadly under the weather, suffering from an allergic reaction to penicillin...

Poor wee lamb..

Back home again and relaxing - Anne reading and Pam checking her new Hotmail account...

Late afternoon, "Casablanca" turned up on the schedules and, with none of us ever having seen it, we watched it through to the early evening...

...and very good it was too...

Hogmanay sustenance was obtained from the nearby "Great Wall" chinese takeway before we headed to midnight with some "Still Game " specials, including the one in the lift witht the flashbacks to the seventies - genius...

Post a couple of cheeky bottles of red, Pam was able to produce some lemon slices to adorn our G&Ts for "the bells"...

We had a great view of the London Fireworks...

...in front of the telly in Pam's living room...

Jools Holland's "Hootenanny" kind of entertained into the wee small hours before we called it a night...

Happy New Year and all the best for 2011...

Highlight of the Day : New Year with my very brave wee sister - and my most esteemed Exec Producer...
