Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

2006 ended with the nation being lashed by winds of up to 80 miles an hour and rain, but despite all this it was still strangely warm. And busy.

I started New Year's Eve in Camden, meeting Kofi, Megan and Dhanusha for one last time before Dhanusha headed back to the US. Clearly the pressure of New Year's was affecting the bar staff as they spent 20 minutes scrabbling around on the floor looking for the keys to the till and kept requesting that we told them when we were leaving so that they could take away our table even though they were hovering constantly. So we left to enjoy our separate New Year's celebrations.

Mine was spent with Terese, lots of crazy Swedes, some lesbians and a mad publishing lady who told off anyone who said they'd recently bought a book because she could get it for them for nothing. In any language, apparently.

We drank, we saw in the new year, we hugged and kissed and we drank a bit more. And then I went home.

Have a lovely, happy 2007!
