One advantage of being in Lunnon until next week is that we will miss the New Year festivities(?)north of the Border. Hogmanay has been described as the same as the English New Year but with added vomit Mind you in N13 we won't even have much of an English New Year but a Turkish/Greek/Polish/Romanian/Ghanaian one. In Sir Morrisons this morning I was part of a multi ethnic check out queue-Sudanese, Greek Cypriot, Bangladeshi, Egyptian and possibly Romanian. The checkout person was from Donegal.A change from homogenous Caravan people at Sir Ms in Berwick and a lot politer. The local farmers market had exotic goodies from forrin parts including Romanian Buffalo cheese, and oddly, fish.
So no Caledonian Old Years night with the excruciating count down to midnight in every time zone culminating in a noisy knees up in Glasca', first footing with half enpty bottles of Scotch, hearty wishes of all the bhest (sic or rather hic)for 2007.
Rather a nice mug of Horlicks, a video of Botham's Ashes and bed.
Ten O clock.
