parkrun in the morning
Where's that then?
No mention of a NYD one at my local. I might have done it on my way home from work in the morning 🙂
Pre race curry eaten, up early to drive to Ripley Castle to race Cyclocross, from the pics should be a good one #mudfest
OH's on teh nightshift so it's just me and the dog with the wee ones tucked up in bed. Now what film to watch in peace? 😀
6Music and the beginning of a bike build here....
Lamb Rogan josh, a few beers and seven psychopaths to watch on blu ray.
Wife and I currently looking at holidays for next year but don't know if it should be Ethiopia, Georgia, Belize or Madagascar. #1stworldproblems
Going for a walk tomorrow.
yip, but no ale as I'm picking the 18 year old daughter up at 12:30
🙁
Yep, wife will be working tonight, please don't punch or puke on her.
Sons already face down on his bed.
Daughter has gone to bed with my grand daughter.
Having a drink, a nice read. Might have a look at ideas for a new bike for next year. Riding in the morning.
It's been a corking year, and I feel slightly stewed already.
A couple of beers and films here.
Curry eaten, up local mountain with Mrs Smartay and son to watch fireworks then down to welcome new year in with mum
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL STWers
Kids upstairs being uncommunicative teenagers - me & mrs been having a Sopranos fest all day with G&T for her and a fairly large collection of beers for me - I may be excessively flatulent tomorrow 😳
Mrs Jones not well( flu) so no fun tonight just watch the cr-- on tv.
ride tomorrow 😀
Company: Mrs North & Miss North
Entertainment: Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers
Drink: just spent 3 hours in the pub having dinner and some fine ale by the Old School Brewery from Warton Crag (Lancs). White wine spritzer for the missus…. Will open the fizz soon.
Eat: I had sea bass, scallops and black pudding. She had slow roasted rib of beef. Littl'un had fish goujons, chips and bread. They had chocolate cake (I had more beer)
Time to bed: by 10 (Mss North), by 10.15 (Mrs North), after midnight (usual for me)
Happy new year family people..!
I'm 7 hours behind you all in the UK, so presently have an 8-lb pork shoulder on the smoker and after stuffing ourselves with that coupled with a little wine, will settle in for a quiet evening, away from the crowds
Happy New Year to all
Our lass has just cracked open the cava.
Yep sat drinking wine at home, just me and the missus. Best mate was supposed to be coming over but has bailed. We've got to be up early in the morning to take one of our rabbits to the vets as he's pretty poorly. Happy New Year 🙁
I have: cheese, biscuits, fig jam, red wine and port. Plus Mrs Sandwich and a daft dog (he's just barked himself hoarse at the Paul O'Grady Battersea show on demand tv).
I might just see in the New Year, it's a standing joke that I go to bed too early.
Hpaay New Year all.
01/01/2010, 12.28 our daughter was born. So i reckon i've got another 14yrs spending nye wrapping birthday presents. Although the gf is doing it tonight. Can't see me seeing midnight tho, time for another beer.
Had a couple of beers in the local earlier. Just heading to bed now as work early in the morning
Happy New Year all
Mrs is operating the big white, blue light taxi tonight. My turn tomorrow in Aberdeen from 06.30 so off to bed now.
All the best for 2014 everyone.
Yup work tomorrow so a very quiet one, just having some pizza.
OK, so does leaping around the sitting room to 90s dance tunes count as "a quiet one"? Only, Miss North (aged 3) is leading the charge….! Oi Oi!
We have just discovered sporcle. Bit sad for NYE but bloody addictive!!! Great family quiz.
Kicking back on the sofa with champagne, had Cosmo's with dinner, just me and the wife, no need for big nights out.
Had a fairly quiet one planned anyway but poor mrs blobby has had to pop to the hospital to be checked out (just a precaution hopefully with blobby jr no 2 on the way in Feb.) Anyway I'm home with jr no 1 in bed and preparing a family feast for tomorrow. Having a spotify retro music night, Tindersticks at the moment.
Hope 2014 sees all your dry dusty trail dreams fulfilled 🙂
6th Month old in bed and im doing Gisburn in morning. First year ever not getting smashed!!
Sat at home playing all my Boards of Canada vinyl reissues drinking vino - mrs working!
Quiet night.
Just got round to watching 'Searching for the Sugar man'.
What a great film to end the year on.
About to start a table tennis battle with the kids, before drink limits my already rubbish skilz.
Happy New Year weirdos 😀
Mrs Pook has gone to bed. Fireworks are threatening to wake mini Pook. The washing up needs doing and after that it's either glenlivet or laphroaig.
All in all a better NYE than I've had in many a year!
1608 Bushmills is nearly all gone. Will need to visit the distillery for a fresh one in 2014.
missus gone out baby-sitting, kids in bed, i'm having a beer, then it'll be bed-ski, doubt i'll wait up for her coming in.
Yep, just watched two episodes of Breaking Bad and now off to bed. Can't be bothered with NY's eve.
Seen the Godfather so many times I got bored and put on No Country for Old Men. So good.
Dog keeps farting though.
watched Wrath of the Titans now on the Total Recall remake, eaten a fair bit of gouda/stilton couple of fursty ferrets, If the missus will stay awake may pop the cava, if not its single malt time!
After 7 pints I had the option to a) go friends and drink more, b) go pub and drink more, or c) go home and have a pizza and some water.
I must be getting old as I chose c).
2 episodes of breaking bad the end of hot fuzz some soberano brandy now bed (when crankygirl finishes her next level on candycrush ) living the dream and well happy .
We prefer staying in! Going out on NYE is overrated!
Was due to go to a mates house for some mental street party, except i got some weird fever thing going on last night so its a dry one at home for me.
In positive news, used the time to give the dremmel and pillar drill an outing and have just made a pair of spindley things to replace a plastic bobbin i snapped

Zoe's gone to bed too tired to wait for 2014. Sat here with Family Guy, Jools and some Hoegaarden waiting for the new year. Will grab the Laphroaig in a few minutes for a quiet solo toast.
TBH prefer it this way to milling around with pissed randoms in town and feeling like crap in the morning.
Could do without the shit dance music throbbing bass through the wall from next door though...
Phone making all sorts of noises as everyone who is out/drunk/etc decides they need to wish the world HNY..
Just put the last log for tonight on the fire, closed down the draw and listening to Alchemy Live whilst supping a lovely tot of Eau de Vie 🙂
Yup same sentiment here , Had a invite to a mates party (which is always good) but got home from work at 8 and decided to stay in and talk to vodafone online to sort out my mobile phone contract. 🙁 My Missus is sitting yawning and I told her to go to bed as It's the same as any other night.Ditched FB last night after about 6 years so wont have to read the endless shoite NY updates so Gonna get the headphones on and listen to some 'Eels' then hit the hay.
HAPPY NEW YEARS SINGLETRACKERS..............
**** it I'm ready for bed now. Bored.
Drove wife to her family get together. Left early to get tired kids to bed. Wife drowning out the lacklustre warbling on Jools Tootingfanny thing. Bed sooooon!
One of my lad's toys has just started making noise on its own over the other side of the room. I'm crapping myself.
Just switched on that **** Jools ****ing Holland. What a ****.
