I went up to the little church nearby to watch the fireworks at midnight. Usually I’m by myself or there are only one or two people there. However this time there were a group of teenagers who were letting off firecrackers. I felt very old and grumpy. On one side of me as I found a place up against a wall as far away from the loud bangs as possible , were lots of young people rushing  around and on the other side was what looked like a robot with a red light on its head. ( it was a guy flying a drone.)  Then someone let off fireworks almost overhead and everyone rushed around some more to avoid sparks etc.

I didn’t take hardly any photos and realised that when I wore glasses I felt less vulnerable.

On the plus side I won’t need to feel I have to be there next year. There was no space for any deep and meaningful thoughts. And I could see noticeably better than last year. That was nice.

There were fireworks going off all over the town. But I didn’t hang about.

It’s been  very cold today. I stuffed bubble wrap down the side of the door where the wind was blowing in. It’s been relatively  mild until now.

I remembered to update my work diary and then I looked all the way through it from January. It’s been quite a year and what a variety of work I’ve done.

I haven’t a plan yet for the next ” artist” painting.

Now some Midsomer Murders and wine before an early night.
