Cats, babies, shoes and pipers...

Playlist
Alice Cooper –Billion Dollar Babies
The Bad Plus – Made Possible
Various – Top 50 Albums of 2012

Up at 9...

First pic of the year...


...then downstairs and listening to Alice Cooper on headphones with Meg the Black Cat while Anne slept on...


Finalised the compilation of 50 of my favourite albums of the year and posted it here...

Listened to my album of the year, The Bad Plus’s “Made Possible...

Anne didn’t enjoy being woken by that so headphones were returned to...

At 11:15, with Anne slumbering again, I settled down to watch the annual New Year’s Day concert from Vienna...

By the time Anne eventually surfaced it was around 1 pm and she’d missed the orchestral delights...

To my mum’s around 2:30 to wish her a Happy New Year...

She was out till 1:30 with chums and so didn’t appreciate a drunken wrong number babbling about “the bairns” at 3:45...

She agreed though, that it was funny in hindsight...

I sorted out her drinks cabinet...


Then off back over to sister-in-law Jane and Bobby’s for a quick happy New Year visit – when I arrived Anne was already there as was her mum...

A drive down to brother-in-law Keith and Maureen’s where Maureen’s family was gathering for a New Year’s Day walk round to a party at neighbours Ishbell and Rod’s place – where Keith and Maureen’s wedding reception was held back in the summer of 2008...

Shoes off...


A good time had with good company, good food and good drink (although I was on the Diet Cokes) and even a piper...



Around 9:30 we called it a night though, with neither Anne nor I feeling 100%...

Took Anne’s mum home and watched a bit of telly before turning in...

First day over...

Highlight of the day : New Year’s Day party...
