Happy New Year to you both!<br /><br />I'm now quite curious to know your point by point reasoning for why Britney is so much better than Madonna. On second thoughts, though, maybe not *that* curious ;-)Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-62329021312215884202013-01-02T15:04:29.635+00:002013-01-02T15:04:29.635+00:00Had the best New Year's Eve in a while.

As soon as the game was over...I stretched, yawned and told Daddy I was beat.<br /><br />Took a couple of beers back in the bedroom and we waited for the ball to drop. Around 11:30 Martha decided she couldn't make it. "There's no pay off in watching the clock turn over." I was having none of that...so, I spent the next 20 minutes walking around the room finishing off her beer, explaining precisely, point by point, why Britney Spears was so much better than Madonna. It worked...she made it. Barely.<br /><br />Happy New Year.e.f. bartlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940814285264472785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-64747777964598669652013-01-01T21:50:11.738+00:002013-01-01T21:50:11.738+00:00Ah, well done!

Of course, some souls love it but I do find it a little depressing so I nearly always work every new year's eve, which I did last night. Did manage to knock-off early and was home by 11pm but in bed by 11.30pm as I was in work again first thing. It passed me by. Rock and roll!!

I agree about midsummer - and I'm so looking forward to summer nights.<br />Well, I did stay up and happy - even found myself dancing round the room to the Hives on Hootenanny (blame it on the sparkling wine) and watching Adam Ant and Dexy's perform on there with great curiosity; they served as a timely reminder of the fact that we are all in the same boat when it comes to getting older...Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.com
