. . . and now that 2007 is here . . .

. . . this is it so far:
new year:
the meal at jude and john's was super - the whole evening was great fun - and we watched the 'fireworks on the green' from the back garden to the accompaniment of yowling foxes in the undergrowth
i dobbed out on the new's day walk and lunch at the clarendon as i really had too much to do at home - but called briefly on fran/alex on the way back and met alex's younger brother patrick who had stayed the night with them
wednesday evening:
met pauline in the essex - and saw the photos of sophie - she is lo-o-o-ovely!! babies eh?? they're just so-o-o exciting!!
yesterday (thursday):
to london after work to see the 'alice in wonderland' ballet at the coliseum. as a small child i had a book with the 'tenniel' drawings and at that time i found both the drawings and the story itself rather frightening. the plot was difficult to convey in dance and i think that if one had not read the book it might well have been confusing. that said, it was very enjoyable with some superb balletic sequences and i was impressed by the way the costumes and the make-up were so true to the original drawings - very clever!!
today:
stella, rich and the pies arrived this afternoon at jackie's - hoorah!! but i haven't been round to see them because
a) i woke very early this morning after a late night and have double vision from tiredness and
b) i have to get all the decorations and christmas tree down tonight . . .
altogether now . . . . aaahhh!!
