Go Large

So, it's the end of another year, I swear we only had five months this year, it's just flown by. My dream New Years Eve, a night at a five star hotel, book in early, cocktails on the terrace and then on to the dinner dance. Is there still such a thing? Perhaps. Dressed beautifully we'll eat a superb meal and dance the night away (to work off the superb meal). When we wake on 1 Jan we'll feel refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated.
Realistically we'll stay home, watch a movie and no doubt be asleep before the magic hour of midnight. Is that an hour?
We were to have had four of the grandchildren to sleep over tonight but sadly that fell through and I have no inclination to make a fancy dinner so it's just another Friday night and hey ho! we wake up in 2011.
Tomorrow we plan to take a drive along the coast road to Simon's Town. My mothers second favourite, Sea Point being number one. Rowland's mom will be with us and we'll pack a small picnic. I'll make a quiche this afternoon, cut some fruit and see what else comes to mind. I bought a delicious Aubergine Cream Cheese so I'll put in some of that with crackers and perhaps a little hummus and tzatsiki. Hmm, it's sounding better already.
Timothy and his ladies may meet us en route so we'll be sure to have a big enough picnic blanket for all.
Perhaps we'll find an ice cream parlour, one hopes!
So, to you and yours and everyone else's may 2011 be your best year yet and whatever your dreams are, may they come true.
