At home, obviously. Working, in fact. Never was much of a fan of New Year's Eve. Though I suddenly thought of a particular group of friends in Mississauga with whom we spent the last few New Year's Eves that we were there, and I suddenly felt sad. I wonder whose house they're having the party at this year. And before that, when we used to get together with two other couples each year, at one of our houses. Those were the best times.

Christmas was good. Amelia was thrilled with her gifts, particularly Noddy and the tent. When she opened up Eeyore, she said, 'Just what I wanted.' It was so cute. On Boxing Day we went to Ian's sister's, who lives just outside Birmingham, for two nights. It was nice to see all his family. I missed being with mine though - they were all together this year, except us.

Can hear fireworks going off outside. I won't wish for a better year to come, because I did that last year and it turned out to be worse. One of the most difficult years of my life, in fact.

Wishing you all a healthy and peaceful new year.
