Happy new year

Happy new year everyone. BBC currently playing Lewis Capaldi’s Someone You Loved over the Edinburgh fireworks, which just about broke me.

I’m going to first foot my neighbour now partying face

  • Happy New Year everyone.

    I must admit, apart from the London BBC fireworks - I had none where I live. 

    I was really anxious about them coming up to midnight, especially as my Mum phones up my brother (who lives in Canada) to celebrate the midnight hour (even though it was only 7pm over there), so I had both my noise cancelling headphones and my earplugs in when I went into the living room.

    Midnight came and phone call made - but....surprisingly there were no fireworks outside the house - usually the neighbour sets of the extremely loud professional ones right outside - but as it was quiet - I bravely took off my headphones and earplugs and was able to enjoy the fireworks on TV as Mum had turned the sound down low due to the phone call.

    This made me extremely happy as I was able to go to bed pretty soon after midnight - had a reasonable nights sleep and at work today - not that I am expecting to be very busy due to the weather - very windy and wet here right now. 

    Hope everyone is OK - and best wishes to you all for 2025 - I am hoping to FINALLY get my ASD diagnosis this year (fingers crossed).

  • Happy new year! It started out with me sitting on the floor and hugging my shivering dog, because he was afraid of the fireworks, but a nice morning walk on the beach (we’re currently on vacation) made up for that.

  • Happy new year! I’m lucky and happy to not have any new year party! I covered my ears, watched the fireworks a bit, but they somehow annoyed me this year and then I went sleep. I’m also lucky that this year they didn’t bomb so much. Previous years it was “WW3”. 

  • Happy new year to you too.  I went to bed 4 hours ago as there was a big party at our house, not my idea 20 plus people being noisy and drinking. I wasn’t feeling well but that was only half the reason why I had to escape. The party is still going on now, my worst nightmare. Thought I would feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings but instead I felt like no escape. 

  • Yeah, Happy new year everyone. Let's hope it's better than the last one.
