The year begins

Had a quiet new years eve. Went to bed about 10.30 as was tired. Phoned Mum new years day. Jane had fallen asleep so hadn’t phoned Mum either after midnight as we usually do. Had roast chicken thighs for dinner New Year’s Day with roast potatoes, roast parsnips, broccoli and home made Yorkshire pudding. Neither of us really enjoyed it because of the meat. Ang started drinking about 4am today so I’m stuck taking the dogs out on my own. There were over 30 swans down at the backwaters today. On their second walk we met some new dogs one of which was a deaf Scottie. On their third walk there were people playing football on the top field so we had to stay on the bottom two.
