not if this WEATHER keeps up noway it's currently feels like -20C with the windshield factor.. and we went from a dusting of snow (you could still see green lawn) to about 1.5 meters overnight :cry: I was like HOLY CRAPPY DO BATMAN surprised then "OKAY people.. you can STOP wishing for a WHITE CHRISTMAS NOW :angry: unless of course ya wanna come over and shovel bigsmile laugh

so any plans are on hold at the moment.. however if things let up.. there's a dinner with friends that I wouldn't mind getting to!

hows about you.. what's shakin out your way?

:wink:


Forecast for NY down under is expected to be around 33 degrees(yep...that would be celcius)...we be shakin at a cocktail party where the theme is 'pink' I'm just not a pink girl i'm afraid....it clashes with my hair. Perhaps a pink wig maybe?? But anyhoo....

Kicking 2012 out the door....



And bringing in 2013...



will be enjoyable nonetheless.

I'm always a mixed bag when it comes to Auld lang syne. Although i think i can manage being in the pink for one night ;-)

Ha!...pink wig and outrageously long pink eyelashes will no doubt set the mood for a night of celebrating come New Years Eve. Tis the morning after that i'm most concerned about. One has to plan a hangover these days.

Traditional Scots version...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o’ lang syne!

Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu’d the gowans fine,
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot
Sin’ auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl’t in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin’ auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie’s a hand o’ thine,
And we’ll tak a right guid willie-waught
For auld lang syne!

And surely ye’ll be your pint’ stoup,
And surely I’ll be mine!
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

Modern English version....

Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And days of long ago!

Chorus:
For times gone by, my dear
For times gone by,
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by.

We two have run about the hillsides
And pulled the daisies fine,
But we have wandered many a weary foot
For times gone by.

We two have paddled (waded) in the stream
From noon until dinner time,
But seas between us broad have roared
Since times gone by.

And there is a hand, my trusty friend,
And give us a hand of yours,
And we will take a goodwill drink (of ale)
For times gone by!

And surely you will pay for your pint,
And surely I will pay for mine!
And we will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by!
