Given the inability to go out, or have people over; as well as the fact that there are not even any fireworks this year....who's actually planning on staying up until midnight?


Going to bed early also means the annus horribilis that has been 2020 ends slightly sooner....So TheCat will be eschewing alcohol and curled up well before pumpkin hour....let's hope a barrage of backgarden fireworks in the area (left over from November?) don't disturb my slumber.....

I?m going to be making the chocolate Yule log I didn?t get round to doing on Christmas Eve.

I will probably dance around the kitchen while doing so.


As much as ever, Nee Year is a celebration so think about your blessings in this year while kicking it up the bum on it?s way out and making sure the door is properly shut.

Impressive. Sounds like your kids aren't getting you out of bed at 6am most days....lucky f@ker:)

The silly flippers are already letting fireworks off at 6pm. Not sure what this is about. I'd like to go for some sort of walk about midnight, just to get out the house. Hopefully the naughty out of borough people who drive up Canonbie, block the road for half an hour and then drive back, wont be around. I could walk up to One Tree Hill but not sure if there will be a large, essentially illegal, gathering there, otherwise same for Dawson Heights (even if I am waking into a different borough......). It's going to be perishing though. And otherwise will watch Joools Holland, have a bubble of bottly, but not sure if we have anything to celebrate.

    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
    • We found Nikolay through these reviews and I’m so glad we did! He’s just finished restoring the original wooden floors in the living room, dining room and hallway of our Victorian house which had probably not seen the light of day since construction. This involved carefully lifting them to install insulation underneath and replacing, sanding, filling and varnishing them, plus replacing boards that were too damaged by woodworm with reclaimed pine boards. The floors are now transformed and look beautiful. As others said,Nikolay and his team were friendly, very good communicators and charged a very reasonable price. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.
