Hey, it's 2006! How did that happen? Surely that was the far distant never-to-be-reached future about five minutes ago? God, if things carry on like this, it's going to be 2010 before long. And then what? 2011, I suppose. It shouldn't be allowed.

Yeah. Well. To be frank, 2005 can get lost. I'm not saying that I didn't have some fun, but I feel that there was an unnecessary amount of confusion, disaster and general messing about last year. 2006 might be an improvement, but unfortunately I'm rather pessimistic by nature so my mind is currently occupied with the many things that could go horribly wrong over the next twelve months. Actually, it can be great being a pessimist, because you're nearly always pleasantly suprised. As in 'okay, so we're trapped under 50 ft of rock. However, according to my earlier predictions we should have been eaten alive by crocodiles about half an hour ago, so as far as I'm concerned, we're ahead. And I have vodka! Though the bottle is half empty ... '

I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Years anyway. I managed to make it through without sustaining serious injury - except for when I dropped that bottle of raspberry liqueur on my toe. But I'll forgive it, as it is so very tasty. Otherwise, I had a great time and I'm currently trying to ignore the fact that I have to go back to work Tuesday. Stupid respectable full-time employment.

Anyway, happy New Year and good luck everyone!
