wiseheartMay it be a better year than the previous one was, to us all. Over here, we'll still have 2016 for another half an hour or so, but I didn't want to be late.
On other news, I'm still sick like a dog, though getting better, very, very slowly. In the afternoon I had enough of my own misery and decided to bake a small cake: a sponge cake, with Bourbon vanilla pudding and pineapple jelly filling, to make Mum happy. I was very relieved that it turned out just fine - I had such bad luck with baking lately. Icing will be done tomorrow (= next year, hehehe), when I'll, hopefully, post a very pretty picture of it (unless I screw up the icing).
As tradition demands, we'll eat sausages at midnight and drink alcohol free champagne, just because it tastes better, IMO, and then I'll watch "Fresse 2016", Oliver Kalkofe's summary of the previous year. I'm sure he'll be merciless with 2016, and it will be hilariously funny as always.
So, my dear friends all over the globe, I wish you all a happy New Year, health and peace and goodwill of Men - okay, that one is for Christmas, but one can't wish for it often enough, right?
Cheers!

Date: 2017-01-01 02:51 am (UTC)I welcomed in the new year last night; the biggest excitement was making sure the cats were safely inside before the midnight fireworks. Although my beloved grumpy tabby was safely inside, hiding under a low table, I couldn't find my adorable half-blind black kitty. I finally found him at half past twelve, sitting in the middle of the road "crooning" at the big, bold, grey and white neighbourhood tom.
