h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I slept into the new year - first time since I was a child. Horrible noise and eerie light woke me up shortly after midnight, though.
Got up, answered all the text messages I had got, had a with my husband who had returned from his mum's, then went back to bed at 1.30.
Feeling slightly better today, but still sneezing.

Happy New Year Bel and everyone else! I really hope you're back to full health soon Bel.

HAPPY HANGOVER!!!!

Happy New Year from me to everyone, too. I will answer all my texts by e-mail. Experience shows that it's difficult to get texts through at times like midnight on New Year's Eve, so I didn't send any.

Happy New Year to you Bel! I hope you're feeling a little better this morning

Happy New Year Bel and everyone else.

Mrs BA and I stayed in this year with our 8 year old grandson.

We watched some episodes of 'Just William' wghich we'd recorded from TV during the week. Tucked him up at about 9 p.m. and told him that the first person he'd see in the morning would be 'the man with all the noses' (one for everyday of the year).

He asked me this morning whether the man with all the noses had been/was coming, and asked whether he is a clown. I vacillated.
I'll have to find some way of leading him to the right answer during the day. Shouldn't be too difficult as we're hosting his mum and partner for New Years Day lunch, so I can as him if he knows wat the date ids if it's 'New Year's Day'

After tucking him up, Mrs BAand I snuggled up on the sofa with some A3474029

... one of my chemist friends on facebook just sent me a message to say that if he (grandson) becomes a chemist I'll have to teach him about 'nonoses' (this is a mucopolysaccharide with 9 carbon atoms).

Hmm. I feel a Guide Entry coming on about molecules with siully names - to match Felonious Monk's Entry about Arsole, A10176987

Happy New Year, Bel

Happy New Year Bel, hope you are feeling better? This might help or not as the case may be.

Bel, best wishes for the New Year to you and yours.

Looking forward to future editions of , this year's German Meet, The London Meet and everything in between.

I hope you get well soon, and look forward to seeing you at some point in 2011.

and ,

MMF.

Thanks all.

I'm a lot better today than I was for the last three days, which is a relief.

Hope to get to see at least some of you this year.

BigAl, that's an intriguing idea you have there.

Love the nonoses. I could have used that!

Did your grandson find out about the man with the noses?

good
but I was close this morning of copping a cyber cold from either you or LilI think the early attack I did has worked

Good for you.

woke at 3.30am this morning, with the signs of a cold starting - 6.00am I attackedat the moment it looks like I've won

Bel,

[Hope to get to see at least some of you this year]

Which bit of me would you like to see?
