Morning all

Kettle is on help yourselves to a few brew

You were too slow.... mine appeared at my bedside a few moments ago, and it's very welcome, but thank you for the offer!

I've got to get my entertaining head on. We normally all go to one friends house who always host New Year's Eve, but they couldn't do it, so I'd said come to mine instead and I'll provide a meal

I've had a cup of tea, Timmy the cat is on my lap, Jessiethepup is on the back of the sofa and NettieTheDog is in front of the fire but not very well. I think a visit to the V.E.T. is happening today. Ssshh don't say anything.

I've started the day with a glass of orange juice, we both are still coughing and sniffing and as rough as hell.

I haven't mentioned our main Christmas present as yet... they started arriving on Christmas Day just as we finished lunch and they are now nearly a week old but they don't stand still for composed photos:

We are on holiday, a break from w**k, rest and recharge the batteries so why are we both awake at silly o'clock in the mornings, I want a lie-in

So my birthday year draws to an end, just one more meal out and a party to go. I've kept a box of memories with ticket stubs and paperwork as well as marking off everything we have done on a calendar, so here are the totals:

Comedians seen: 62
Bands seen: 17
Plays seen: 1
Cinema visits: 4
Meals out: 20

Trips abroad: 3
Airports visited: 8

Time spent under water: 3h25m

Wild Orang Utans spotted: 2

Times in Rocky's company: 2
Picnics with CCers: 1
Times I got annoyed at Vernon for dying before I met him: Several

I have also done a weather forecast at the BBC, attended a lecture at the Royal Institution, been to three families parties, drank Adnams in Southwold and bought a car that makes me happy when I drive it.

Highlights of my year in three pictures:

That will do

I'm retired now but still find myself awake at silly o'clock in the morning so you're not alone..

Hope you feel better soon!

Adorable! Are they going to be providing you with eggs one day soon?

 

[EltonFrog]

Hurrah! Let the celebrations begin. NettieTheDog is back from the V.E.T and had just got a tummy ache and is going to be okay, and my new fountain pen has just arrived. Peace and good will to most of you.

Must do better in 2017...

An amazing year. Reading your post, I smiled but I also needed a tissue to wipe my eyes.!

 

[TVC]

It has been a fantastic year, I am very lucky to have the health, income and most importantly friends to allow it to happen. Next year is back to normal, there will still be the Leicester Comedy Festival, there will still be bands to see and there will still be CCers to break bread with, but there will be more thinking of others too.

In nonour of @potsy, our last meal out of the year is going to be a kebab. Just off for a walk down Narborough Road to the best Mangal in town.
