So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

Monday, January 01, 2007Happy New Year It seems strange, waking up on a New Year morning, the MORNING after Hogmanay. Normally, I only get to bed at some point in the morning, usually the worse for wear having traipsed around the town saying hi to strangers and generally celebrating the passing of the old year and the coming of the new. Stranger still was the remarkable clarity of the head and body. No sweeping nausea, no pounding headache, no horrible notion that a good bottle of malt whisky may well have been rendered empty on account of a) drinking lots of it and b) sharing it with all and sundry.Nope, the weather put paid to all that. We normally have "the bells" at Mumsy's house before going off to visit friends. That was the plan. Mumsy is getting less and less enamoured with the whole things as the years go by and probably would rather go to her bed. As the wind and torrential rain got up, we thought about just staying at home. We phoned Mumsy who was more than happy with this arrangement. So we stayed in, watched telly, in comfort, had a glass or three of Laphroiag and then went to bed somewhere around 3.00am. Oh and we enjoyed it. Happy New Year All.
