Day 316 - New Year's Eve

An IG day today: I had to write the New Year's Friday Email, which took me a bit longer than I had expected as there were so many links to build into it.  I have written it and pre-programmed it to go out at midnight, so it should be there to welcome all into 2016 - I hope that nobody believes that I shall be on my laptop at that time...

I also had to design the web page for this year's Awards Dinner and send out the email invitation. Unfortunately I managed to get the date wrong on both...aargh....  No harm doen though as an eagle-eyed former Captain spotted it immediately!

We had a quiet day with what was meant to be a gentle stroll into Cobham, which got aborted when we realised that it was actually a bit chilly out there. 

In the evening, we went out for a New Year's Eve dinner with four other Burhill couples, hosted by Andrew and Annette. It was a very pleasant evening with food contributed by all - a real treat too with some delicious dishes on offer.

I also enjoyed the champagne and wines that Andrew had chosen - all the more so as they will be the last that I shall consume until February: yes, it's that time of year again. I have been doing a Dry January for the past 10 years and more - not for any great health-inspired reasons but really to prove to myself (and Kathryn!) that I can actually manage it.  In past years, I have not noticed any great changes in weight or sleep patterns but maybe I shall this time?
