What’s everyone’s NYE plans? For me, a friend hosts a gathering each year with a small group of regulars. It’s close to home so getting there & home is easy. There’s usually a spit and other yummy foods and a bonfire. I may get quite drunk as a fitting send-off to this year.
Wander along the waterfront and catch up at a local with some friends/fam early. Might stick around to see if I can see the 9:30 fireworks. Hopefully home in bed by 10:30 😊 which is just perfect in my books
Drug the cats and put on some bass heavy music before the boomies start. Boyo may or may not get out of work early, so food plans pending. Otherwise, nada.
I’ve heard of people running the dryer on the airing cycle with a few tennis balls in to hide the noise. Luckily enough I’ve never needed it, one of the perks of being in the sticks.
Interesting technique! I don’t own a drier. We are only about 1km from a big Boom site now. I’ve not heard sound check, so might be paranoid about how bad it will be…
Spending this one at home given how tough the year has been. Probably just have favourite movies from the year on in the background while I put together goals for next year and a year ahead tarot reading before catching some local fireworks and bed.
Stay home and re-arrange my sock drawer. I kid you not - I’m immersed in a major shuffle & redeal of home furnishings/cupboards/clothing atm. Hoped to get it done by now, but no dice. Then tackle the bookshelves with the remainder of my leave. Probably won’t get to that this holidays now. Some major donating of unwanted cookware etc. coming up in the new year too. Will take a break at midnight to have a drink and wish the new year well and wait for the noise to die down a bit before attempting sleep.
My absolute fab faves that have died a horrible death are a pair of norwegian over the knee fair isle socks in pure lambswool - mended many times and now have completely disintegrated. Alas, moth got into them some years ago and they never fully recovered. Still, 1983 to 2025 is a fair lifespan for a sock. I mourn their passing and keep looking out for replacements.

Stay home and watch Dinner for One and YouTube lol, maybe catch up on the seasons of Dragula I’ve missed. Hang out with the cat.
I’m so exciting and young.
My switch is going to get a workout lol
Probably will be asleep by 11 at the latest.
Happy New Years everyone!!
Make pasta. Stay up as late as I can. Sleep in as late as I can.
Went to friends house a couple of nights ago for tea & drinks so tonight it’ll be a quiet one.
I hope there’s a spit for you to enjoy!

Good call
I start low and up the volume a notch each half hour or so. It’s far from a perfect solution but helps.
beach to see the fireworks in the city
I will take pics 😊
Stay home, play games and chill!
Same

I did socks yesterday. Said goodbye to many beloved socks that had been repaired too many times.
I have to admit I skived off yesterday - didn’t get as far as the socks until now. And yes, I fully agree that socks can be beloved.
my Groku socks, my Snoopys
