NYE

Went to Christison Park on New Years Eve and watched the 9 pm fireworks there.  The view down the harbour is amazing.  We sat near the cliff edge to get a good view but we were buffetted by a stiff breeze off the ocean, so I had to retreat after the fireworks.  We scooted home and then I made crepes, with cinnamon sugar and stuffed with a lick of ricotta, while we watched Star Trek.  We didn't make it to midnight, instead collapsing before then, though I heard the thunder of distant explosions at midnight and thought, oh, it's 2012.  Oh, as the fireworks, there was a family speakin Afrikaans, so I caught snatches of it and translated for ♣.  It was all boring and mundane -- they weren't discussing state or family secrets that night.
