Well new dresses bought for me and Leah, new shirt for Gobey
and we look very dapper the 3 of us. We are due to the hotel about 7pm for
arrival drinks, but as we are unsure if Leah can come we have booked a room in
the hotel for her to sit watch telly, order a pizza and have that while we eat
down stairs and after the meal she can join us and enjoy the band and see in
the New Year with us. So I can’t
remember what Gobey said to the conference manager about Leah being upstairs,
but she got her pizza for free, we didn’t pay for the room and she got to come
down and enjoy pudding with us and dance the night away. She looked so cute in
her fancy dress I picked up in Bali on the way home, and she just loved here
the bag pipes to start the evening. All the men in kilts tickled her no end and
her face for the whole night had the biggest smile on it. By far the best
Hogmanay for the while.
But I will say the smile didn’t appear till
after she got to dance. Once the piper had left the music started and the first
song was something Leah loves to sing and dance to but Gobey said no. Yu should
have seen the face, not impressed. She bugged him for about 5 mins, the song
had finished and she still wasn’t able to dance. Yip begging me I felt sorry
for her she only wanted to dance. So good old Steve took her up to the dance
floor to have a dance and from that song on, we hardly saw her for the whole
night. We did finally get a dance with Leah just before the bells and it was a
perfect way to bring in 2012. Gobey, Leah, me, mum, dad, Natalie, Samantha, Steve
and Graeme. 2012 is going to be an amazing year.
