New Year

So after living in the delightful Stonehaven for nearly 7 years we finally managed to stay awake - through sheer stubborness on the Twiglets part - long enough to see the fireballs.

Fairly spectacular so it was. Slightly scary how near they come to you with their homemade wire mesh contraptions full of highly combustible material and it's best not to think about what might happen if one of them was to fly out of their hands. Surprising really in this health and saftey obsessed world that they still get away with it. Twiglet also got to witness her first really drunk teenagers with a girl collapsed in the street and a few lads aptly demonstrating a good old fashioned drunken stumble. With any luck it'll put her off for life. It is however fair to say that by the end of it she was completely knackered. Behold the dead fish that couldn't make it up the stairs to bed. Good job she already had her jammies on under all that lot. Happy new year.
