Daily Notes- New Years Eve


The weather report for today and tonight have put most party goers off.  Around midnight things will get snowy, slushy and icy in a matter of hours.  Making travel while drinking......not the best of ideas.

Not that we go out on the Eve of a New Year.  We don't.  In fact, I hardly think we ever did.  We sometimes go out for a very early dinner.  Around 6pm, before the restaurant fills up. But from the picture I selected--I think a cup of tea will be what I celebrate with tonight.

Football yesterday and the Patriots played better than they have been playing--and won.  The other games on the tv weren't of any interest.  I did want to see the Saints.  Possibly the Monday night game.  The older teams seem to have "gotten stale" and are finding it hard to win against the younger more energetic teams.  The ones with younger managers and spandex uniforms.

We had to turn off the television last night--absolutely nothing to watch. (no more Christmas Hallmark  movies-well, they are still running but I've seen them all)  So I read a short mystery that I had picked up off the 7 day shelf.  I have two more--things I would normally pass up--but pickings in books is slim right now.

I worked on my tea bag cloth.  Removed part of the spiral that was too thick and then continued it to the edges. What it needs now is a good press with the iron.  Get it all flat so I can assess----well, decide if this is another failed experiment.  A good ironing solves problems.

G enjoyed his soup and I finished up the Christmas burrito fillings.  There was enough for two when I filled them up with greens from the salad box.  A little bit of this a smear of that and a large handful of greens.

And G has solved his radiator problem--seems it had an air bubble (air lock) and so he found a way to "burp" it and now the radiator is warming up.  After breakfast he and daughter are going out to buy her a new car battery.

Happy New Year to all who stop by and read my tiny blog.   Best wishes and I hope 2019 brings us some Peace and Happiness and Beauty.

For 2019 I wish you contentment and peace. I wish you free from self doubt. I wish you the time to be creative and the gumption to keep going when the creative endeavours aren't going smoothly. I wish you a healthy new year filled with moments of joy that stay with you forever no matter how insubstantial they may seem and the eyes to recognize them when they come. Thank you for your blog and taking the time to write to all of us almost every day. Some days it's an inspiration, some days a source of humor and some days a lifeline. Happy New Year, Joanne
