How Will You See 2022 In?

[Bobbisox1]

We used to go out to our local and queue to get in we’d all take something for the buffet table, everyone knew each other so it was like one big happy family , the juke box would be blasting out and we’d have a great party, Now? It’s pjs and dressing gown, a take away ( table set) a glass or two of wine , some recorded TV stuff and probably bed by 10-30 for me while Mr B watches Jools, if there’s any fireworks, I never hear them
What will you be doing?

[lady-janine]

Reading in bed. Can't be doing with all the shenanigans.

going up daughters house where i hope to see in the new year through a haze of prosecco ,out on to the street at 12 to wish neighbours happy new year watch fireworks and listen to the ships in the dockyard hooting, then home to bed xx

[Bobbisox1]

Ohhh, I’d love to hear the ships hooting Mally,there’s very few on the Tyne now since the demise of the shipyards

[1ozzy]

With my eyes closed in the land of nod, hopefully:-)

[mallyh]

there aren't so many down here either since the navy cut backs but it's still nice to here the remaining ones xx

[Bobbisox1]

Have the fireworks at Sydney been cancelled this year Loz?

[Bobbisox1]

LJ , I’ll be well asleep before the clock strikes 12 :0)

Oh Mally! You brought back a childhood memory. I remember ships hooting in the docks from when I lived in London. I loved that.

I don't like New Year's Eve. I find it kind of sad so unless we're having a dinner party or going to a party we stay home and ignore the New Year. We used to have 'Not the New Year' dinner parties on New Year's Eve when clocks and watches were banned and none of us knew - or cared - whether the New Year had arrived or not.

A take out curry and a few drinks with four of our neighbours, nothing outrageous. We've been doing this for quite a few years now since we all decided we couldn't be bothered with being jostled about in a pub.

[Bobbisox1]

Naomi thst sounds like a plan ( no watches or clocks) just the tv shows the time :0(

[1ozzy]

Nope, I believe it's all systems go Bob.
I won't be driving 500k's to watch, in amongst the covid carriers.

a few years ago walking back from daughters on new years eve (mr mally was on duty)i saw my first UFO'S they seemed to follow me down the road one light in front of two lights ,i was freaked out and hurried as fast as i could to get indoors as i didn't want to be zoomed up and probed by aliens next day in local people wanted to know what the strange lights were ...........chinese lanterns lol x

[Bobbisox1]

The London one has been cancelled , it’s usually Australia that shows first isn’t it? Or is it NZ?

[naomi24]

You could always stick a plaster over the time bit, bobbi, and ignore all the New Year stuff on the television by watching a movie.

[Bobbisox1]

Haha that must have been canny wine Mally :0)))

[emmie]

I rarely stay up for nye

[Bobbisox1]

I won’t see new year stuff anyway Naomi , that starts I believe with JH and that’s when I say night night to mr B

[1ozzy]

NZ first, then OZ.

If you hired a private jet and flew in the correct direction how many new year eves could you celebrate in one year?

[Bobbisox1]

I’d probably be too pished to count Loz , hic!

when we lived in Gibraltar we had 2 xx
