Day One 2007

I know I'm leaving it until the last minute but I wanted to get one post in on the first day of the New Year.

Had a lousy night last night. The fireworks tailed off at around 2am but some sadistic bugger kept setting one, single, extremely loud, banger off every half hour until 4am. By then I couldn't sleep because of the heat. The sweat was pouring off my head and soaking the pillow, and I'd blown the fuse in the flat so I didn't have a working fan.

At 4am I gave up trying to sleep, got up and did some housework (in preparation for M's arrival) but, and here's the thing, I didn't bother putting any clothes on. It is so hot here that the wearing of clothes should be outlawed!

Went back to bed at 5:45, got up again at 10:45, finished the housework and went to the airport to meet M.

More tomorrow.
