I'll be at home praying my 2 year old sleeps through the fireworks and calming the dog when they go off. expect the wife will be in bed by 10!
After a 370 hour , no exaggeration, work month of nights this December including. Christmas and Boxing Day nights I am getting home tomorrow morning , having a beer and going to sleep. If I wake up for the evening we will go to our local and then round to neighbours to see in 2019 before a weeks leave from work and enjoying the bumper paycheque from 95 hour weeks.
Traditional walk and pub lunch on NY day and more sleep. Much more sleep!
It’s been a tough Christmas in the field of women’s services. We have dealt with multiple suicide attempts, overdoses, Ex partners, assaults, and other bad folks who prey on vulnerable women.
At least I get to go home to Mrs TC and good friends and neighbours. I appreciate that more as the months go by.
So, a very happy new year to all of you. I hope you’ve had a good 2018 and are looking forward to a smashing 2019. Personally, apart from a legendary night out with [MENTION=409]Herr Tubthumper[/MENTION] and his terrific Frau and a good lunch with the much missed Les Biehn I have not been as glad to see the back of a December for some years. Next year brings a better work life balance and more recreation.
Have a good one people, see you in 2019

He's never done a days work in his life
Pub crawl in hannover then house party
As usual, going out into the street with a bottle of whisky to offer a New Year dram to any of my neighbours. And then going back indoors to drink (some) of said bottle of whisky because, the same as the last almost thirty years, my neighbours just don't do that sort of thing!
We were supposed to be having our good friends Polly and GIles round for a dinner party but poor old Polly has come out with a nasty bout of diarrhea so they won't be attending now.
Tried to phone around the eastablishments of Lyme but you can't get a ticket for love nor money anywhere in town such is the popularity of NYE so looks like we'll be having a quiet night in with a bottle of Lambrusco each.
