Good morning everyone, not quite as cold here, grey sky though and a little rain later with more tomorrow.  It's been nice to have had a few dry days.

 

What are you cooking Yogi?

 

I went to set to record that film and then read the blurb and realised I had seen it maybe a year or so ago.

 

Enjoy your day everyone I know Easter is very early this year so it won't be long at all until pancake day Summer.

Hi Squiggle. I'm cooking steak to make a huge steak pie for tomorrow - steak pie is traditional fare on New Year's Day in Scotland. I'm also making the filling for a chicken and leek pie for my two DiLs who don't eat steak, and I'm making a trifle too. 

I'll do the vegetables and starter tomorrow.

I hope they taste good too!

Apparently steak pie is traditional in Glasgow and the central parts of Scotland according to wiki

 Steak pie is an essential at New Year.

Hope we're all nice and relaxed and awaiting the big countdown      aka the biggest anti-climax of the year. Still, start as you mean to go on..

Laters     

 

 

 

 See you then, Velvet.

I don't have M&S sherry trifles but the fruit or strawberry ones.

I use alcohol free mouthwash.

How is everyone?
I've finished another manic shift at work-phew! I can't wait to be all calmed down

 Always room for a little one.

 

Will you be able to relax tonight, or are you going to be partying?

I didn't realise they did alcohol free mouthwash.

 The more the merrier.

I wouldn't touch Listerine either, I don't know if any of their mouthwashes are alcohol free. Corsodyl and Colgate do alchohol free ones,

 

I don't have sherry trifles as I don't like the taste of sherry.

And the same to everyone else here

And from me too - I will probably be tucked up well before all the excitement, I am usually woken up by the sound of fireworks and then drift off again.  Have a good time those who are celebrating and I hope there are no sore heads in the morning and that 2015 will bring you all joy and peace and love God Bless

A comet described as a big green ‘dirty iceberg’ can be seen blazing past earth.

Comet Lovejoy is already visible in the night sky and will be at its brightest on January 7.

But the comet, named after its discoverer and amateur astronomer Terry Lovejoy, won’t return again for 8,000 years.

On January 7 the comet, formally known as C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy), will make its closest approach to Earth at a distance of 43.6 million miles.

It will then make its closest approach to the sun on January 30 before heading out of the solar system.

The green glow of the comet is caused by chemicals in the comet’s atmosphere surrounding the chunk of ice in the centre. It is thought to have come from the Oort cloud, a cloud of icy objects almost a light year from the sun.

NASA said: "To see the comet, just go outside an hour or so after sunset and look for a fuzzy patch to the right of Orion’s belt. Binoculars and a star chart may help."
