Went really well, especially as my family who were dining were given a 50% discount, I got a free beer (my first of the evening - at 10pm) and the owner and staff treated me with impeccable hospitality.

Nice way to see out the year. :)
Red Barchetta?  ;D

Mine too - everywhere is neat and tidy again.

Neil Young has pulled out of Glastonbury because it is "under the control" of the BBC.
He headlined in 2009 but now states, " We were told that the BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in."

Covid test = negative (makes me wonder what I've actually got though; maybe just a nasty strain of flu).

Sleeping seems something like back to normal after three days and nights of none.  Have managed to eat a bit. More energy today.  Just have developed a sore throat now which is slowly descending into my chest, so hopefully this is the final stage of this hugely frustrating illness.

^ My missus has been ill since Boxing Day. We assume Covid but we have no test kits left. She says it's the worst cold/flu she's ever had - which as we all know is impossible as us men always get it worse. Me, I've been fine though.  ;D

Made a huge cauldron of soup this morning. A smoked ham joint for the stock, leek, carrot, turnip, celery and parsley. No cereal or lentils this time. Will get some crusty bread in later. Just the job in this sub zero climate.

Married for 28 years today. That's worth a mention.

Probably, but I have had so much fun and laughter, and will continue to have for hopefully at least another 28 years.

I might get to 35 years this year.
But I haven't forgiven her for eating all of the Chocolate Yule Log I bought  >:( Didn't even get a sniff of it - and she doesn't even like the ones covered in thick Chocolate ganache!
