I had an email yesterday from M&S. New Year’s Eve Dine In Meal Deal. That’s kind of them. Although we could all go out tomorrow night, how many of us are weighing up the pros and cons and have decided to stay in?

New Year’s Eve parties were best when they involved fancy dress, lemonade, a Watney’s Party 7 and lots of music to boogey on down until the last dance of the evening (invariably the slow one after Spirit in the Sky) when we hoped it would be in the arms of someone you fancied who would walk you home afterwards! Ah, those were the days!

What are you doing to knock another not-very-good-for-bowls-year into touch?

(2022 is going to be much better all round!)
