New Year's Day

[ailbhe]

So it begins. We wake feeling bleary and tired.

Jen and Gideon stayed overnight, but Jen had to leave comparatively early to go and look after her horse. Gideon stayed behind to help clean up.

I'm still sick. My nose and my ears and my chest are all clogged up.

We finished off a lot of the food left over from last night's party. The fondue was ok reheated, which was a pleasant surprise. Darrell and Becky came around to gather their bits and pieces. Darrell wasn't well; he'd been sick at the party and had to leave for home kind of suddenly, and spent most of today asleep. They had great, ah, "fun" washing the soot off the fondue pot. The cat tried to help, and has soot on his nose and chest.

Gideon eventually left rather late. Darrell and Becky left latish too, I think, but I was so tired I can't really remember.
