2012
(Me 56) Sunday
Have got to start the year with Rained Heavily Today!
Got up late after seeing in new year with RB Hay, Dave & Soph. Dave and I went up Saxon for a beer. Vicars and Tarts NYE do – interesting!
Hay and Dave came around after dropping Soph at Grants. I said to her to record her wedding song so I
could send it to Cliff Richard still not interested although she sang it for us
in a very excited way!
Mainly spent day on sofa typing up Diary. Rosie read the Daily Mail. Will watch the Abs Fab NYE special tonight.
I said to Rosie this morning that I’m gonna spend this year doing more
music which she’s taken as a New Years Res!
