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

Call me daft (i am, you do!) but have just endured the bloody New Year crap, alone, his high holiness i think has finally done a bunk, which is almost certainly good in the long term, but no fun at the moment, i am pretty sure he stuck around simply for his Christmas presents.

Whatever, here is moi alone except for Yoda & a desperate party thread i started on here, i can't be the only person sad enough to be on hootoo at midnight can i?

The bloody witching hour arrives, but just before it does, you text me; you DO have some idea how much that means

The bells ring, fireworks go off, shiny happy people everywhere, i do my duty & venture outside to look at the fireworks. And what swoops down across my face, squeaking?

A You were there.

I felt a lot less bruised. Thank you, my friend. I will be thinking of you in 15 minutes time but probably can't get a text through, lines are clogged at this end & undoubtedly at your end too.

Let's hope this year is less tiresome & more rewarding in all senses than the last one eh?!

That's all nice to hear, love When work seems so futile at times, it's great to get home and find I've done some good somewhere.

I'm pretty tired, need a and a good sleep, but I just wanted to give you a good to say thanks for this.

aww, how did it go? There there, a nice port will soon sort you out.

Oh, arse as always Looking for holidays now... wonder if I can talk her into Marrakech? Not bothered about Egypt (quote of the year already, right there), Malta would be great but a bit windy in January, Canaries are right out and Mexico and Goa too pricey. Hmmm...

Look up Pondicherry; it's much the same climate etc as Goa but much cheaper, french enclave, it's where viking dreams of running a guesthouse, not too commercialised; not overrun with hippies trying to sell you stuff but efficient enough.
