mtbcI hope this new year's generally happy for all, nightly television news reports notwithstanding. On our side, domestically, there's a lot of settling to do yet, after our relocation: over the course of the year, I hope that we make our way into some stable longer-term situation (home, school, work, budget, etc.) that makes us happy. We'll certainly try. December was rather more a month of one-offs and feet-finding.
R. instigated a visit to the city centre for the Hogmanay concert and fireworks, I'm glad they did, it went well. It wasn't too cold, windy, or wet, just moderately so, it was nice to see the concert, from a distance given that we are not fans of crowds and noise, and the firework display. Walking back reminded me of my college days, when I'd also walk in a group in a British city to some event or other, even to the dark and the mist for getting back near home.
A guess occurred to me for why some of these events have multiple exits but only once entrance: perhaps to ease the ingress security for keeping the event clear of undesirable people and things.
