2004 Welcomes careful drivers

Posted on Sat 03 January 2004 by alex in general

I notice a lot of people have gotten their new year write ups done already. January the first however was a bucket day (well more correctly we watched several DVDs and ordered take out, but nothing too strenuous). So to recap:The New Years party went well. It was nice to see so many people turning up to my humble abode. It was a good mix of people as well so hopefully everyone got a chance to meet new people. I need to get another stereo system for the dining room though so its easier to resolve disputes between music fascists ;-)

Me and Phil won, or at least where the last people to crash at around 9 in the morning. I think I dozed for about 15 minutes before I was woken up by someone coming downstairs (I didn't make it to my bed until the 2nd). Glyn fed us all bacon and stuff when he got up (thanks Glyn!) and we settled into the afore mentioned bucket recovery routine. It was by necessity a relaxing day :-)

I went up North Manchester way on Friday to drop Phil of and ended up stuffing myself with Nachos and playing a few games of 10 pin bowling. Given the time its been since I last played I was surprised I did so well. Mufi beat me (not by much) twice, however he did have the benefit of playing 2 games each round. I dropped into Daz and Phil's for some big screen PS2 action before heading back to finish up my

tidying. The house is almost clean now, just needs an air and some hovering.

About the only thing left to do is some introspection and decide if I'm going to make any new years resolutions. I think the main ones will be stick to the Gym and do more walking. I hope everyone I know (and even those I don't) had a good New Years Eve and wish you all the best for this new year.
