Wishing You a Happy New Year

 On New Years Eve I went down the City Hall and they had a party just getting started for the City TV concert. The skaters were out and it was beautiful!

  

From the City Hall blurb: "But it's known all over the city that after the rink guards leave at night (usually 10 pm), shinny hockey often breaks out on the rink -- a very good game, lit by the hotel windows across the street. The game doesn't usually go later than 1.30 am because by then too many lights are out at the Sheraton Hotel and skaters can't see the puck."   Is this funny, or what? 

After a while, they cleared the rink for the zamboni. It left the ice and people returned to skating. (I took this with a cell phone -- and it was impossible).

The Concert was beginning and I made it home.

On New Years Day I went to pick up Erin and Dan at their house. Rory and Hayley were having a dinner for all of us. I hadn't had leg of lamb before with potatoes with cheese, sweet potatoes, carrots, salad, Plum Pudding with sauce, Peppermint ice cream and wine.

Erin's cat, Morgie, showed off his silver bow  

Rory and Hayley are wearing antlers - you can't see the antlers,
but they are there!

All DONE. Happy New Years to all of you!
