Happy New Year 2019!

[LeMartinPecheur]

It was November 2010. Which makes it just over 9 years

Has HMG just devalued the decade or something?

Nothing like early to bed, early to rise to set one up for the New Year! Good fortune and happiness to all for 2019

I went down to the seashore this morning to watch the sunrise (0802). It kind of put things into perspective.

Happy new year to you all. I have a 0 in my birthday this year which generates mixed feelings, but I'm looking forward to this year's musical happenings, expected and unexpected.

I used to live in Eastbourne, and would spend the last quarter-hour of the old year and the first of the new on the beach. A wonderful experience - I still miss the sound of the sea.

I felt that way myself when I reached 40 - 33 years ago. There wasn't enough room in the bedsit I lived in at the time to accommodate all the friends I had back then - most of them probably now gone - so I borrowed the large flat of the girlfriend of a jazz musician who'd just left her for London to make his fortune. The party was gatecrashed by a troupe of acrobats, which livened up proceedings no end. Tina said that if any damage was incurred it would be on my head.

Anyways, very Happy New Ears to all who have lugholes for the purpose of receptivity, and may 2019 be happy and peaceful for all, just like 2018 was.

And these days you won't even qualify for a Welsh national bus pass.

He's gotta be older than that - I think he means 50.

Took The Keeper out to Scarborough yesterday for Scarborough Spa Orchestra’s annual New Year’s Day afternoon concert. SSO is one of a dying breed of (tiny) resident summer season seaside resort orchestras – and still going strong with a loyal following The programme of Viennese favourites and operetta arias made a pleasant contrast to the morning’s offering from the Vienna Phil.

Scarborough was heaving, parking was difficult to find and expensive (why … do … I … bother … ) but worth it in the end. Emerging from The Spa theatre visitors were rewarding with a picture postcard view of the South Bay at night with seafront lights reflected in the pools left behind on the beach as the tide retreated Next year I’ll bring the tripod for the camera.

A Happy (and Cooler) New Year to One and All
