It’s 8 hours into the New Year here in London, and just turned midnight in San Francisco. So to all you West Coasters out there, don’t drink too much.
We spent our usual very quiet New Year. We watched a movie called Ping Pong, which was mildly interesting. Arata, the actor who played Smile, was 28 years old when the movie was filmed, and yet he played a secondary-school student. Such youthful looks.
We had coffee and mince pies during the film, and then waited for midnight, at home. We watched the BBC coverage of the festivities at South Bank; during the fireworks, we could hear the fireworks outside as we were watching them inside. And so to bed. No alcohol was consumed.
Perhaps I’ll make a Manhattan before dinner tonight. Very civilised.
My wish for all my friends and readers is for a happy, blessed, and fruitful new year.
yay for mincemeat pie! You know by my LJ it’s my favorite
