new year's eve

I was thinking of blogging what was good about my 2008, then doing New Year's resolutions, but I can't be bothered. Don't care.

I've been crabbit as hell for weeks now, I think it may have begun when I started trying to meditate. In fact all the blissheids I know are bad-tempered, but it's chicken and egg whether they bliss because they're crabbit or the blissing makes them crabbit.

As usual after Xmas we drove down with the mother outlaw to stay at Spud's mum's place. But just one night there was enough for me. For one thing I couldn't sleep for the heat and the noise of the frogs outside the window.

So the next day I took the train back home, for everyone's sake. First night back - at 2 a.m. there was someone walking around the back garden trying the windows. By the time I got up and switched on lights, he was away.

Tonight, New Year's Eve I've had a glass of wine and that's enough excitement. I've got the camera beside the bed in case the garden guy comes back.

Tomorrow the partner and the mother outlaw are coming back. Happy New Year to you by the way.

There's just time to share this photo of one of the highlights of 2008 - our trip to visit Menzies in Malawi, when I had time for some swimming at Victoria Falls.
