New Year


The new year always keeps me guessing every year. I found a quote by Roald Dahl, one of my favorite authors, that says it well, “For the last twelve months we have all been living in one year and now all of a sudden it is another. It is extraordinary how this tremendous change takes place in the space of a fraction of a second. As the clock approaches midnight on the thirty-first of December you are still in the old year, but then all at once, one millionth of a second after midnight, you are in the new. I have always found this sudden change from one year to another awfully hard to get used to, and all through the new January that follows I keep writing down the old year instead of the new one on letters and cheques and other bits of paper.”

If you’re feeling a bit biffsquiggled too, why don’t you try out this tasty recipe for ‘Fizzy Lifting Drinks’ from CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY to help January 2010 go with a BANG!
