So how was it for you?
As usual, Nog and I were fast asleep before the bells rang at midnight. 
Traditionally in Spain you are supposed to eat twelve grapes, beginning at the stroke of midnight and finishing before the bells stop chiming. Which is very difficult to do unless you use peeled seedless grapes. In fact, they sell small tins of 12 peeled seedless grapes here. Nog and I bought a couple tins of these two years ago but we’ve never managed to use them and by next year they will be past their ‘use by’ date …
Anyhow, the idea is that if you manage to eat all the grapes before the midnight bells stop chiming then you will have good luck for the next twelve months.
Well, grapes or not, I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2007 and I look forward to sharing it with everyone here.

Happy 2007 azahar! And I’m glad to hear you didn’t choke on grapes!

Happy New Year, and good luck with your resolutions, if any. I’ve decided to skip that part — just another date to disappoint myself by. I figure any goal I set, even if it’s on April 19th, will be just as good as January 1st.
And it’s not like the rezzies change much from year to year… 🙂

Happy New Year, everybody.
Don’t set much store by NY resolutions. Unless you really mean them (in which case the date is irrelevant) they just end up getting broken within a couple of days (or hours).

I swallowed grapes at New Year, but they were in liquid form. It was my mother’s 64th birthday, and she decided that if she can’t lash out on good champagne when she’s 64 it’ll never happen, so we all got sideways on Moet. Very tasty stuff. *hic*
