    My other half will have a couple of cocktails, I will have a nice cuppa accompanied by a few bits and nibbles. Maybe we will listen to some mellow jazz and call our relatives on the other side of the world.

    New Year celebrations are a huge thing where I'm from, but I've kinda grown tired of this tradition lately.

    My Spanish girlfriend insists we observe their custom of eating 12 grapes at midnight, I only pretended to last year, really, after a bottle of wine I don't want any more. As much as I absolutely love it, next year I intend to knock drinking on the head, at 50 I'm gonna try and give my body a mid life service! Happy new year to all.

    What’s the thinking behind that?

    We are having a quiet night in. Candle lit dinner a deux, slowly working my way through a 2014 Chateau de Ciffre. Saint Chinian, and will probably watch Jool's Hootenanny on TV.

    Slug of whisky to see in the New Year, then bed probably around 1:00 am.

    Anyway here's wishing you all a Happy, Peaceful (and very much better) New Year.

    We're sat watching season 3 of The Handmaid's Tale - this nondescript end to a crappy year actually looks like party central when compared to Gilead, so I'm finding it strangely heartening

    I'll be hitting my 63rd year in less than two hours, but as the last year was so shit I've written it off and decided to be 62 again... Happy New Year to all at AoS who haven't put me on their 'Ignore' list yet

    Just relaxing quietly with a couple of beers, first alcohol I've touched for months. No point going to bed early, they go mad with fireworks at the slightest excuse around here, so I'm expecting all hell to let loose at midnight. There have been quite a few already.

    Just having a quick snack.

    Sorry, I mean a ‘substantial meal’.
