New for old

Happy New Year to all in blipland. Thank you especially to those who follow me, and add such kind comments and awards to my journal. I do appreciate them and the blip friendships that have developed. I look forward to another year and more friends. Here's to 20 20 the year of perfect vision!!

We've had this Chinese table since the mid - 70's it came from one of Philips Thursday lunchtime household sales. It cost us the princely sum of £5.
I decided today that it could really do with having its top polished for the first time in very, many, years and it came up beautifully. Carried away by my success I hunted in the garage for the black gloss and repainted the base. It's come up far better than I could have imagined and I'm very pleased with it. Wonder how many years it will be until I polish it again.
We've had a fairly quiet day with only a brief visit from Ali and Stuart to raise us briefly from our torpor. We had decided that today was a roast beef day which had the added benefit of clearing a space in the freezer. Not blowing my own trumpet but I think I achieved my best ever yorkshire pud. Sadly, as always, I fiddled with the recipe so I've no idea what made this one better!
Still coughing a bit but hopefully on the mend now. Hope to meet up with some blippers in Pebbles tomorrow.
