Happy New Year.

The weather this week has been very changeable. We have had wind rain and snow. The temperature has varied from warm to very cold. This week the New Year’s Eve party was the big social occasion. All the usual bars, El Cau, el Moli Quo Vadis , el Derbi and Cisco’s had very successful parties. I chose to stay in my hotel, The Palarine, which had a special Chinese Dinner and fancy dress party with free drinks.

I was surprised how many people had made a great effort to dress up. Stuart (BBA) was an unmistakeable Freddie Mercury I made a feeble attempt to dress as a pirate. There were several other pirates, all better than me. Paul, the barman looked splendid in a Johnny Depp costume. I concluded, that with so many great pirate costumes around that I could not be Captain Blood but merely Roger the Cabin Boy.

The ladies looked lovely. Fiona was magnificent in her nurse’s costume. Due to N.H.S. cuts, there was very little material in her nurse’s uniform, so one could quite clearly see the colour of her bra, pants and suspenders.(red, by the way) Jane, a lovely local lady, looked delicious in her Bunny Girl outfit. Jane and I had the first dance to get the party moving. Well, Jane is 3 inches taller than me. She was wearing boots with 3 inch heels and of course, bunny ears. This meant that every time I attempted to twirl her, my rather short arms knocked off her bunny girl ears. Jane then had to bend down to pick up her ears; this gave a lovely view of her beautiful cottontail.

There were just too many stunning ladies to mention them all. I had one very pleasant dance with Bubbles DeVere from Little Britain.. I happened to notice that a curvaceous lady had a rude comment on the back of her Anne Summers’ knickers. I won’t repeat it to avoid upsetting the more sensitive readers.

Just after midnight it started to snow quite heavily, so the conga ended up in the street, followed by the inevitable snow ball fight. Ladies with an exposed cleavage became very obvious targets.

I left the party to get just over three hours sleep as I had a class at 9 am. Only 4 out of 11 of my group arrived at 9 o’clock. Well done to Rhian, Dave, Noel and Sam. At my first prearranged coffee stop I was joined by five more of the class. In the end only two of my class did not make it to the mountain on New Years Day.

Overall I think that it was a very succesful week.
