in the background...and for the first year in a long time i have someone special to spend nye with...not even like we're doing anything exciting - well not by other people's standards! but we are quite content with an evening at home together...
i made a lovely dinner: marinated lamb cutlets (garlic and olive oil) with salad (roast sweet potato, fetta, pine nuts and leaves) followed by pavlova topped with whipped cream and berries...
a cup of tea when it gets a bit cooler and most likely neither of us will even see midnight...
it's been a LONG time since i've had a nye i have enjoyed (bar the odd unplanned one which turned out ok) so it's not only nice to have benny to share this one with, but also fabulous that he is even less enthused than i am about fighting with a gazillion drunken people to find a spot so we can see fireworks - no doubt they will be good, but if you add up all the fireworks i've seen during my lifetime (i'm nearing 40 remember, and lived in the UK where bonfire night, aka guy fawkes night) then seriously, how different can this year's display be?
anyway, that's kinda irrelevant! 2008 brought many many wonderful things into my life, some planned and some not - methinks that my unusually positive attitude may have helped so i will end 2008 in the same way i started (with one major difference - my wonderful ben)...
wishing all of my loved ones a wonderful evening, a great 2009 and many many more years of health, happiness and friendship xox
