WEEKEND NEW YEAR
We we Ol'girls from our building had decided to spend New Year's Eve together which we did.
We started quite early at 5.30 pm, because we didn't know if we could stay until midnight to welcome 2023. Nobody had believed it, but we stayed until somebody on the other side did a nice firework because in our city was nothing only in Brussels there was a big one.
Here we are enjoying our aperitif, which were all little glasses with shrimp in different sauces, unfortunately also "Foie Gras" which I don't eat, but there were lots of other things.
When we had finished the main course in Adeline's apartment, we went over again to mine to continue with the desert. I forgot to take a picture, because I was so full, I couldn't eat anything anymore, I ate it later. Then we chatted, watched TV and suddenly midnight had arrived and we raised our glasses to wish a better year for all of us, 2022 hadn't been good for many. Then everybody went home, very practical, nobody had to go out in the rain, just one or two floors down.
On the first day of the new year, I stayed in bed until 10, I really felt tired, and when I wanted to say something to Rosie, I spoke like Louis Armstrong. After my coffee and breakfast it was better but not yet normal. I was tired, did answer all messages I had got during the night, watched a movie and then the two young girls from the first floor came to wish me a good New Year. I had a blueberry cake and alcohol free Champagne which we ate and we had a lot of fun together ! They also brought me an invitation to their marriage next year, and for the first time I got a card with a QR code with all the information !
I am really happy that the year's end festivities have come to an end, and I hope to start a new life. Fortunately Christmas and New Year had been better then I thought.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
A good celebration by the sound of it and what a feast. I too felt awful on New Year's Day, not because of too much to drink, but staying up after midnight.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your Christmas and New Year went well. You definitely are lucky with your neighbours. I do hope 2023 is better for you. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice you have friends in the same building who can get together whenever or for special occasions and no one needs to go outside or drive anywhere. Happy New Year!
