As introductions to 2009 goes, I felt almost Gazanian... the fireworks from City Chambers appeared to be shelling my flat, and indeed on the TV pictures it looks like they were. I managed to be outside from half eleveen and was still frozen when I got back home, and yet sweating and needing Beechams... I think my Chjristmas Cold has returned.
As tonights headlining artistes finish on the main stage outside, I am watching QI under a duvet and waiting for the noise to finish so I can sleep. If this is what 2009 is like, I'm not entirely sure I liek it.
I am however looking forward to tomorrow, and if I had any similarly mad friends (and did not have a cold) I'd be up for doing the Loony Dook at South Queensferry! Havings aid that, I have no plans for tomorrow, and may end up just heading out to wander round the quiet of the city.

2008/9
Well 2009 is now a little over 6 hours away and in common with my general state this year I made no plans for tonight and now end up with no actual evening as such. Most of my friends are quite apathetic for new year this year, with a large focus on 'staying in'; 'doing nothing'; 'got no money'; and 'meh'; when I surveyed them.
I have the car so could go to one of the gatherings I know are happening, but that involves going all the way down in Newcastle, or Reading, both of which are a long way. and would cost lots of patrol. I have my House series 3 from Christmas, a warm flat, lots of tea and wine, and a huge pile of ironing, so it could be that I have an interesting evening, unless I get a better offer by text soon. I also have a large street party and concert outside, which if I open the window I can hear perfectly, and should I want to, I could go to with the 2 free 'inconvenience' tickets I get from the organisers.
Looking ahead, 2009 should be a good year:- my last holiday as a student, elective, and SSM, my Child Health block and for the first time in (at least) 12 years......a summer with no exams!
Looking back 2008 was a year of some highs (passing 3rd year, my ICU SSM, my block at seaside hospital - including chicken sewing and fireworks, passing driving test, getting a Car, my Sister's wedding) and lows (death of close friends, death of grandfather).
I liked 2008, it was a good year, but I am looking forward to 2009 so much more.
