I spent NYE at a French Party, absolutely lovely, but a long night, and then, with very little time to sleep it was time for the casse-croûte..... apparently it is normal to have wine just after getting out of bed, and rude not to accept. Then perfectly normal to go to a bar for a pre- lunch glass of something. All good fun and a nice break from the norm. I am however, now back at CdeG making the curry for the new menu which starts tomorrow. Work Hard, play hard, that's me.
Have a lovely day all whatever you are doing. Glorious sunshine here so I hope that continues for the next 40 days.

Just popped in to wish all my old Forker Friends a very Happy New Year - may you all be healthy, wealthy and wise(r) and fingers crossed we all get to do a little more of what we fancy this year.
Happy New Year folks🎉
PS @punkdoc How was your Simon Rogan meal? It looked delicious and I'm quite tempted to order one in for us as a special treat. I'd be pleased to hear if it was both delicious and if the portions were a sensible size rather than a measly couple of teaspoons for each course. (We're usually hungry diners!)

Pleased to see the charity fund raisers being recognised but not TB - far too slimy and creepy and dishonest IMHO, just more subtle about it than Boris and his mob.

@Topbird, it was very good indeed, it was the 2nd. of his meals we have had and both have been excellent. Portion sizes were fine too. I wouldn't bother with the cheese, felt we could get better locally.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
As a fully paid-up introvert I find chatting difficult, especially when I don't feel I have anything interesting to say! (At work I had to force myself to sit with people at coffee break - strange, because I got on well with the people I worked with...) However, I've really missed you lot, and look forward to spending more time on here now Hubby seems to be over the worst.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
We've missed you too @Liriodendron .. you don't have to have anything 'interesting' to say ... I just witter on about nothing ... but I know some folk don't do that ... they're often the 'good listeners' ... but just popping in and saying hello is still contributing to the general good feeling. ((hug))
