Once again it rained all night long and very heavy and it was still raining this morning and continued to do so all day stopping at about 7.00 this evening and starting again just after midnight!
Jon and I went to the supermarket that has an undercover car park and we just nipped into the coffee shop next door for a coffee.
I did the bit of shopping and then went to find a liquor store to buy some Blackcurrant Sours for Heather for tonight. The supermarkets here only sell wine and beer so you have to go to special stores for spirits.
As i wasn't sure what I was looking for and it was pouring with rain I went into the shop and left Jon in the car. I thought they would be in small bottles a bit like UK but they only had a litre bottle so I had to go back to the car to call Heather as I had left my phone in the car and so I got wet again. It was the right thing so then went back to buy it and got wet again. I hope she enjoys this stuff for all the effort.
Got home and toasted paninnis for lunch and then watched Notting Hill which I really enjoyed and haven't seen it before.
I made a nice salad to take with us tonight thought not sure where we will be due to all the rain. Mike is cooking a sheep on a spit bbq no doubt in his front porch!!
We went over to Mike's at 7.30 and saw lots of police out on the streets so I don't think I will have even one glass tonight as I am driving!
As parties go for NY it was not very good. Nice people to chat to and the lamb was good but all a bit lacking for New Year for me but then it usually is down here.
Midnight came and went and as there was no countdown on the TV this year we weren't sure when it was. Mike had some fireworks and nobody wanted to sing Auld Lang Syne!!! so that was it 2012!
We left at about 12.30 and I drove home in the rain having only had a couple of sips of sparkling wine!! Never mind I will have to make up for it when we go out tomorrow to celebrate UK New Year unless everyone is too hungover!!
