Unlike the rest of the NI blogeratti I like NYE. This year was the first year I have stayed in since I was about 12 years old. I must admit it was fun. We were due to have another couple over for a meal, but unfortunately that didn't materialise.
My other mates were in Donegal doing the cottage thing (not cottaging,cottage as in small whitewashed dwelling.) and Edinburgh so I decided to cook.
I made one of Jamie Olivers risottos (about the height of my ability because it's all in one pot) and got drunk on all the booze I had purchased for the others coming to stay. Midnight was spent dancing round the living room listening to Westwood broacasting from Shine. It was a sorry sight because those present amounted to two, but it was great fun. I was in bed for 1 am.
New Years resolutions are to spend more time with my hobbies, especially fishing and getting up in to the mountains again on the weekends. Nothing too major this year, set your sights low and you can't fail to reach them.
