New Year's Eve - Goodbye 2011

New Year's Eve - how quickly the year has gone.   No football for us to go to this Saturday but both West Ham and Middlesbrough had games this afternoon and an opportunity to catch up with Southampton.  However, the results went our way, again, with West Ham losing to Derby County and Middlesbrough being held to a draw by Peterborough - so tonight, Saints are still two points in the lead at the top of the championship table.  A quiet night in this evening.  I phoned Mum to find that she had decided not to go to her normal New Year's Eve party at the Cleethorpes Conservative Club due to being in pain. She was going to have a quiet night in.  Tom went to bed early but Mary stayed up with Sara and me to see in the New Year in on the TV.  What a wonderful firework display in London tonight - especially the display from St. Stephen's Tower (Big Ben) which was an innovation and worked so well.  We watched a whole series of TV programmes this evening - Michael McIntyre, Lee Mack and Mr. Bean.  A good evening of comedy.  Didn't get to bed until 3 a.m. after Sara and I had consumed two bottle of champagne during the evening.
