New Years Eve, Friday 31 December
The last day of the year, but a bit to get done. Hair visit for Sunday/Monday needed to be booked - but the whole day was free, giving me the choice of ANY time on that day! So, 1500 on Sunday it is.... It's getting in my eyes too far now... Anyway, after that, picked up a couple of microwavable sandwiches from Superdrug. If you've not seen these (I threw the wrappers away so I forget the name), they are around £1.99 each, and they go in the microwave without being pierced or opened. So, a little "pop" after 20-30 seconds of the way. Don't worry, it's not earth-shattering... If you do go for them, I preferred the chicken one to the ham one... but it's a personal preference... I'd eat either of them again. (The work canteen downstairs closed at 1400, u see!)
Stopped at the bus station on the way home to pick up the new Angus area timetables starting on 10th January 2005, and as a result got the 76 from work to town (as it stops opposite the bus station) - thus meaning my last bus of the year was Mercedes Vario 230. In the City centre, all the electronic signs (like Christmas Eve) were pointing punters to read the information board poster (done by me!) which included last times. Although one passenger read 31 December and couldn't see where it said "Last buses on 24 December also apply tonight"..... Millions (now I've lost count too) spent on infrastructure, but there is still a place for paper notices!
Now, this is the unusual bit. Just before finishing work at 2000, the boss pointed out that the 3rd person we'd been drinking with last week, was in the pub already. He had a half day, and won big in the bookies. I popped out just before 2230 for food from Corfu (take away in North Lindsay Street), and on the way back him and a fellow barfly stood outside the door of the pub, cigarettes in hand, and romantically serenaded me around the corner to the door.... Nice one Graeme... who says he was tempted by the offer of blowing the lot on 9/1 for Dundee United to win tommorrow... he decided against it, but he has faith in his team. We shall see.
The night was therefore quiet by last week's standards. Happy New Year.
