this is me even after nearly three months without any chocolate (the cravings continue)

i really don't like New Year's eve.  i find it highly depressing - which for someone who's generally fairly jolly is a bit of a disappointment.  i think it's related to having to stay up to midnight, whilst knowing i need to start getting back in to the routine of getting up before 5am in a few days time, and fearful of carbon-free self induced jet lag.  or perhaps it's just fear of progress.

whatever, i find it a bit sad.  which is in itself a bit sad.  so sorry to our visitors who will be staying with us for a couple of days.

but anyway, thanks for another fantastic year in blog land.  i've enjoyed doing this immensely. see you on the other side !
