it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new year!

back home by one, and straight to bed. left the party still in full swing.

awake at 8.15am, to the sounds of Pete barking his head off! my throat is terrible this morning and my head full of cold. lord knows how i'd have felt if i'd have had a whisky and cigar!

cup of tea, biscuits, and beechams and then off for a walk with Pete. the roads are empty, other than eager New Years Day drinkers lining up outside the Greasley Castle at 10.30am!!

late brunch at mums with Pete and Kirsty. they opted for a full english, whilst me and mum had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs.....lovely start to the New Year.

afternoon, and concious that Pete had hardly been out for days, i took him a walk by the canal. wrapped up nice and warm, woolley hat the works! near the end of the walk we met a group of people with dogs that weren't on leads, and bam....a boxer went for tiny Pete. both me and him were trembling!

home, milky coffee, fire and duvet. feel drained and rubbish with cold. glands hurting too. not the ideal healthy start i wanted for the New Year, but just need to get it out of my system as soon as poss.

Early night now, am whacked. Happy New Years Day to everyone! (p.s. spotted Hot Cross buns on sale today!)
