Another year another blog

Hungover?

Not too bad thanks.

Hogmanay started well with the arrival from Amazon of the DVD "Shaun of the Dead", my philosophy being that if I should get at least one Christmas present that I want each year then I'm better off ordering it myself.

Didn't have time to watch it though (did that today (it's ace!)), a wash and shave then off to gym, then to Safeways - now Morrisons - for beer for later. I met a couple of folk on the street that I hadn't seen for months.

My folks traditionally have me round for the last meal of the year. It was great, then played my little brother at Pro Evolution Soccer 4. Even though I'm not very good I managed to beat him in the last game, which leaves me undefeated going into 2005! We then headed down to Weatherspoons where we met up with our respective mates. (Does everyone everywhere call it Spoons?). A couple of pints, then home to get changed for Pipe Band. I managed to find time to make a vodka - coke mixture for carrying round with me, then met up with the band.

I was glad it was quite a mild night - last years event was called off because of extreme weather. The street party went well - had a really good time, met loads of folk. I hung around watching one of the other 'proper' bands play for a while. I came back up the road to get changed out of my Pipe Band outfit, but having done so couldn't really be arsed going out again. I suppose I was slightly downbeat after kissing girls wishing them a Happy New Year and watching them disappear up the road. Nowhere was open, but I could have gone round to one of my mates. Time to rewind the video for "It's Only an Excuse" and crash out on the couch.
