A nothing sort of day. Dripping with cold rain most of it. Decided I wasn't going out. Did some washing. Hung around hoping that some more of the people I emailed yesterday would and answer. No luck.
Sleepy, as I went to sleep by 11, but woke at 4.30, and nearly dropped off playing on computer this afternoon!
Making a steamed pudding. Going to bed early.

Happy New year, it has been a gorgeous sunny day here in S.W.Scotland, bit cold but blue skies never the less. Hope 2017 is a good year for all GNERS

Good evening. Just lit the fire. Had a sherry and mince pie. Got the lamb steaks out will pan fry them for dinner in 1 hrs time and then sit by the fire with husband and watch some TV.

Happy New Year to every one on Gransnet.

Good Afternoon All and a very Happy New Year.

Just got on-line. Took myself by surprise this morning and decided to de-frost the fridge freezer which has taken rather longer than anticipated. (It was bad!)

It's miserable here in Norfolk - grey, wet and 'orrible. The wonderful early evening end-of-the-pier fireworks at Cromer have been postponed because the forecast is so bad. I hope it's not an omen for 2017!

Happy New Year everyone from Lancashire where the air is clear and the sky is blue smile

Happy New Year to everyone! We had got tickets for the fireworks down at the Thames and it was FABULOUS! It was a cheerful, happy event and a good time was had by all! The Tube was free but busy and people in our carriage were chatty and friendly . Got home at about 2 am.

Good Morning Mike and a Happy New Year to you and all our fellow Gransnetters. Cold, grey, very wet and cheerless here in Worcestershire but it has promised to brighten up later. ?

Stayed up for the New Year but now struggling to get up with a second cup of tea. Blue sky here about 4degrees.

Good morning and Happy New Year to everyone. Very quiet (apart from the church bells) and still here in N London, as though the whole city has a hangover! Varying amounts of rain are forecast for the day so I hope not to get caught in downpours when I walk down to DS and family for my first dinner of 2017. Love to all smile

Happy New Year all,
It's bright and clear in the Tyne Valley. The birds are singing and there's not a breath of wind, everything is still. I also went to bed before midnight, but was kept awake by the fireworks which I could see from my window. Consequently, I'm late up! Son coming for lunch, we're having venison. Start my walking this afternoon!!
Have a good day everyone. ??

Good Morning and Happy New Year to you Mick and all GN's from a wet and cold Cambridgeshire .

Morning to all, and a Happy New Year. Grey, damp and a bit misty here.Having a big mug of tea and waiting for DS and DGC to arrive.Feel a bit hung over but happy,always love the thought of a New Shiny Year ahead ( touch wood.)

Good morning, Michael, and all GNs and my best to you for 2017! It is wet and dreary in South Yorkshire. We did stay up to see in the New Year, but only by the skin of our teeth! DD et al are coming for lunch today, and we are looking forward to seeing them. I hope the first day of 2017 is kind to you all!

Good 2017 Morning. Been up most of the night with DH coughing - he's gone back to bed and I need to keep the house quiet so he can get some rest. I shall cook a HUGE Roast Beef lunch to warm his cockles.

Rinouchka Sun 01-Jan-17 08:41:34

Good First Morning of 2017 everyone. Another grey day in London. Colourful firework display visible in distance from our top bedroom window last night. About to have first coffee of the new year.
May this new year be good to you all!

DaphneBroon Sun 01-Jan-17 08:39:29

Good Morning Mick and everybody. It looks remarkably similar to 2016 in this corner of N Bucks - still grey, overcast and I think, starting to rain.
Plus ça change!!
Wishing you all a pleasant Sunday and a Happy New Year!

Good morning and a Happy New year. It is grey, damp and cool. I managed to stay awake and saw the fireworks at midnight.

Good morning and a happy new year to you.

Mild and damp here in Lanarkshire.

Happy New Year to you all. Cold and dreary here in East London.

Good morning from a grey damp Colchester.
Loads of fireworks around here. Listened to them while tucked up in bed. DH had to go to work at 5am. I am now sitting with DGS1 making a lego fire station.
Looking forward to Sherlock tonight kitty
Happy New Year to you all.

kittylester Sun 01-Jan-17 07:45:47

Morning all.

North Leicestershire is dark and wet. I woke at midnight when a few fireworks went off but went straight back to sleep and slept till 6 but have woken with a headache!

I am still aiming to sit down and do little today so I hope the TV is good.

Enjoy your days everyone.

Good morning from France. The fog of yesterday has disappeared, to leave a flat, dank and cold morning. Getting the open fire laid early - as much for cheer as warmth!
Wishing you all brightness in the year to come.

ninathenana Sun 01-Jan-17 07:12:16

Morning Mick and Alie. Morning everone, Happy New Year.
Still dark in N Kent but it's dry and no fog.
We watched Jules and popped a cork at midnight. Lots of fireworks around us but none we could see, so no free show grin

AlieOxon Sun 01-Jan-17 06:55:08

Morning Mick and everyone, Happy New Year.
I slept and didn't hear a bang.
