Everyone has his own New Year traditions. Many countries have their own too.

This evening whilst at a party in the flat of Conor, one of Andrew‘s friends in the Titanic Quarter of Belfast, we heard the ship’s whistles of the ships in the Port of Belfast being blown for New Year. Normally, in the past I would have been involved in ringing out the old year, and ringing in the new year. But this evening, it was interesting to be so close to the Port that Ships Whistles could be heard for well nigh half an hour.

Other things were interesting this evening, but I can’t quite bring myself to let you all know about them. So for now, Happy New Year.
