New years eve

It's been a nasty wet day all day. Neil and I eventually managed a walk round the block, with only heavy drizzle blowing in our faces! I liked the lights our neighbour had, and didn't notice the rather deflated Father Christmas until I was looking at the photo at home.

Some more clarinetting happened and a bit of German but it's been rather a quiet day. 

We're not staying up to see the new year in. I shall go to bed and try to sleep through any fireworks that are being let off. My favourite thing to do on new years day used to be to go skating, but that's out right now. Maybe we can visit the duck pond instead, for a change ;-)
