OMG...just listening to news and seems there's been a major incident in Glasgow in Queen St involving a bin lorry killing and injuring a lot of people...and I thought of going there earlier on today.
Is that your outfit?? Very stunning!Has anyone got plans for the new year?
I normally stay at home but this year we are going to a fancy dress party,now I have not done one of these since I was younger,I think it will be an interesting night.

I have the bonus of 365 days holiday. Though I suppose I could look on it that retired people don't get weekends or bank holidays anymoreLast time I celebrated New Year was the Millennium. Usually retire early with cup of bovril. The bonus is it is quiet on New Years day as everyone else usually has a hangover and have the bonus of another Bank Holiday on Jan 2nd in Scotland.
Somewhere I've still got my special viewing specs from the last full eclipse so I will have to start searching.Back to New Year I am looking forward to the total solar eclipse on Friday 20th March 2015. This will happen just to the North of the UK. From where I am it will be a 95% partial eclipse and most of England will experience at least 80%. I have been thinking of going to the Faraoe Islands to see the total eclipse but trips are pricey and no guarantee on the weather too. Well here hopes it is a clear day and at 9.37 am everyone can get a glimpse of natures wonder.
And youAnyway...best wishes to all in 2015.
I like Jools' Hootenenay very much.For years, Mr Chris was usually playing with whichever band he was in but since he's been in the Irish/Scottish band he's not worked on NYE. We usually stay in, light a fire in the hearth and ope a bottle (at least) of wine and catch up with our Christmas DVD's and end up watching Jools Holland. I remember one yea he had Martha Reeves and the Vandellas on and his face when they started "singing" was a picture.
Just RUB it in Chris lol....lucky you!I have the bonus of 365 days holiday. Though I suppose I could look on it that retired people don't get weekends or bank holidays anymore
It was 1999 I think, the tv reporters were down in Cornwall but it was cloud cover whereas here in Hampshire we had lovely clear skies. It was a full eclipse I think. It was really weird the way the birds stopped and the temperature dripped like a stone.Chris, did you see the eclipse (talking Aug 1999) ? Were you there or just see a partial one ? I've never seen a total one but it's on my bucket list.
Is that your outfit?? Very stunning!
You been up to anything interesting today Snowy or Sky telly night lol ?
