We started at the local club and we'd been looking forward to the night, knowing that all of our friends would be there with us to share the occasion.
The best way to bring in the new year, is surrounded by friends or loved ones... everybody knows that!
The food, hot nibbles, which were served in single cardboard chinese containers to each individual, was less than average. The majority of the crowd were served fried curry puffs, mini spring rolls and other mini fried pastries.
There were three of us who required 'gluten free' foods and we were given some tasteless felafels, two mini gluten free party pies and some potato wedges. Also less than average.
I had two glasses of white wine and a jug of iced water.
The music started off very slowly with country music and old time songs from my parent's era. By 10pm it had moved up a notch, but not enough to provide much enjoyment or entertainment for Adoring Husband and I.
The weather was muggy after some heavy showers and not much ventilation was provided. Most windows had to stay closed because of the rain.
Just after 10pm Adoring Husband and I decided to call the courtesy bus and make our way home. Eight of our friends chose to join us on the bus and there were another 9 people waiting for the bus to return to the club and take them home too.
As disappointing as it was to not spend the celebrations with all of our friends, we really loved seeing in the new year together in the comfort of our own home. Quietly and very happily.
For the month of January, I'm once again doing the Photo a Day challenge. Day One ...
1. Today |
Today, I'm grateful for new ways to be reminded of the happy times. Aiming for a positive and happy life in the coming year.
Nite all.
