1 Jan 2016

The fireworks display last night was something else.  I fell asleep long before midnight, but the noise easily woke me up.  I debated whether to get up or just pull the duvet back over my head, but in the end, I'm glad I struggled bleary-eyed to the window and caught the finale.  They had fireworks shooting off from the castle (?) and carlton hill at the same time - fantastic!  Then when the Edinburgh town fireworks were over, I heard bangs from the opposite windows and looked out towards the sea to see the fireworks being shot off from Portobello (?) and Musselburgh - and even some from out North Berwick way, it seemed.

Then I settled Mr. T as quickly as I could so I could go back to sleep!  For a long time after I went to bed, the rock-rhythm-bass reverberating across the city, blasted by enormous loudspeakers in town no doubt, kept me on the edge of consciousness thinking...... I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I, IV-IV-IV-IV-IV-IV-IV-IV-IV, V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V, I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I.........UGH.  (Musician problems.....)  

Happy New Years everyone.
