Spook put a lot of hours into the poo factory today. There are a lot of people here and the machines are groaning. I don't think it's 40,000 people, but the machines do.
I did some light cleaning today and I did noticed that there is a little heavier usage going on.!
Spook and I nipped over to Pete's holiday home on the other side of town tonight (he lives in Dunedin). I had a couple of drams and Spook drove as he was still thinking in terms of poo overflow. We left Robbi and Roddy with the family AGAIN. I think we could have included Pete and his family in a good Hogmany celebration, but they would have to have come over to ours. We got back as soon as we could and wrapped up for a trip up to the nearby war memorial to watch the fireworks and bring in the New Year (it had been raining heavily earlier, but was reasonably warmish). It was nice, but not emotional the way it sometimes feels at home. I will be having a wee dram at 1pm on the 1st January, which is surely the true New Year. We checked out the stars, and there's a bit milky way going on up there and Roddy tried to draw out the Southern Star with his torch.
We got home and cleared the decks for dancing. The Sinclair children had not had the pleasure of a ceilidh and showed themselves to be naturals. We had a ball, and it's a shame the Kiwis couldn't join us in our own village hall.
