Another year's over...

And a new one's just begun.

lalalaala!!

Thank goodness, one less to endure.

There's always a big build up to an absolute anticlimax in my humble opinion.

I even went to my widow to check out the fireworks and all I saw was damp squibs.

All the best Nambo.

When I was young, there was only a few people lived in this country, so you could go to a pub NYE, for free, get served at the bar, hear yourself think, go to Trafalgar Square and jump in the fountains.
Nowadays you have to pay a fortune to go anywhere, you would never get served, even where I work, one perk for the staff was the best view in London of the firework display, now they even charge Members of Parliament to come in their own building to see them!, the nearby roads have metal barriers like the Berlin wall to stop anybody walking down public roads in case they get to see the fireworks for free, I had to be issued with a wristband just to get to work in the "firework viewing zone".
All that fuss and people standing out in the cold for hours to see ten minutes of fireworks.
No firework display could ever match the two dustbins full the locals donated to my Childrens home, there was only about six or seven of us kids and so many fireworks!

Happy new year Babybird!

The best firework I ever saw was a catherine wheel nailed to a bit of would in our back garden.

I lit it myself and it wet round and round and round for ages. It was beautiful.

In fact, if I close my eyes now I can still see it.

I think this indicates that you burnt your retinas?

Probably maybe.

Those spinning wheels is burned into my childhood memories, and I can see them as if it was yesterday, when I close my eyes

That's my favourite Christmas song.

Another year to do it again. I wonder what this year will bring me. I hope that virtual reality becomes affordable this year. I'd set the year to 1965 and be the real Mick Avory, drumming with The Kinks.

I have no resolutions for 2016 other than finding myself proper employment.

So this is Christmas. . . That's John Lennon's song!

I'm dedicated to making this year actually mean something. I'm tired of running in circles getting nothing accomplished.

dayum. in any case, my new year's resolution is to learn to play classical guitar and to master sony spectralayers pro
