Up just after seven...

I had left it very late to upload the tracks for tomorrow's final release of the year by CBQ, "Twentytwentytwo"...

Tracks were uploaded and I spent the entire day researching and writing the notes and credits for each of the 28 tracks (I added one from next year's "The Neu! Variations" at the last minute)...

Meanwhile, Anne prepped a trifle for tonight....




And, I forgot of course (as it's 3 January as I write this), we popped to the shops to shop for us and for my mum and for me to choose lagers for a "lager tour of the world" - a thing not now undertaken for many a year...

And so, Thailand, Germany, The Czech Republic, Belgium, Spain and Japan will be sampled...


...although, these days, hardly any of them were actually brewed in those countries of course, thanks to globalisation...

Our guests arrived and the tour, for me and Ross, commenced, while Anne and Lynn enjoyed Orange Gin, Prosecco and wine...


New Year's Eve had come a day early...


An expertly prepped Keralan Chicken Curry with rice and chapatis was presented by Annie, followed by her trifle and, then, these wee beauties, made by Lynn's sister Sheila and, then, a cheese board...


Whisky and Baileys joined the fray later on as we caroused into the night...


Post midnight, off they went on foot for the journey home (picking up their car tomorrow)...

An excellent way to end the almost end of the year!

Highlight of the Day : A visit form Lynn and Ross...
