Well, happy new year yaw'll - 2008 over and done with and 2009 up and running. The drum gig at Venue-M went well for us - everyone playing up to and even beyond usual standard except me, who for some reason wasn't quite up to par - but a good gig for the band anyway. Think I must be getting too old for an hour of hard soloing. Then a busy Saturday before xmas with a big disco party at Sue & Guys in Calverley Park Tunbridge Wells, then a quick dash (via police checkpoint on the Pembury Road - had been drinking orange juice all night so no worries) down to Battle and another party at Selina & Mike's (cocktail sausages and trifle - yum). Got to bed 4ish but managed to contract THE stomach bug so J & I spent the next 3 days on the loo.
Just better in time for xmas lunch with my Mum & Dad in TWells. Quiet time til New Year, visits to Kate & Malcolm and Paul & Gillie, then over to Canterbury for a last minute invite to Pete & Lucy's with Robin & Ri on the last night of the year. Had a lovely time, with wine, steak and sticky toffee pudding. Their dachshund Elmo gets on really well with Otis, and they are inseperable, doing their tai chi together biting each other's feet, legs, jowls, tail, in fact anything within biting distance.
Then got a steenking bloody cold, so pleased now that it's back to normal. Thought the freezing weather was meant to kill off bugs - perhaps it just kills humans.
Back soon.
