glenatron2007 began in a storm of rockets and gunfire, as one might expect. It was hardcore.
I would like to observe once again that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bunting and the very charming Llinos were the finest hosts anyone could wish for. Balderdash is surprisingly fun and home-made Raspberry vodka (recipe: Raspberries, sugar, vodka - mix all three together, shake, leave for three months, filter and serve ) is the drink of winners.
All in all it was a very awesome New Years' Eve party and a joyous opportunity to see friends we visit far too seldom.
We preceded it with a murder mystery night at the home ofnohotashes and baddynono which was also tremendous fun. It has made us effectively commuters to Wales, which has revealed that my theory that the Severn Bridge becomes more expensive every time I go over it is entirely correct - it was £4.90 on Friday night, £5.10 on Sunday night. I'm a little concerned that if I were to visit regularly I would soon make Wales a very expensive travel destination. Meantimes, the M4 is very wet and today also very slow.
Getting back home and going to feed the beasts we found our friend Liz, who had kindly dropped food off with our ponies this morning so we didn't have to rush home, still at the yard. One of the other horses there, a big and adorable Irish Draft by the name of Beau had colicked on Sunday night and, after a few vet callouts, had to be rushed to the equine hospital this afternoon. We haven't heard any conclusions yet, but when we were at the yard he was just out of emergency surgery and things didn't sound very good for him. After a very long day of helping to deal with that, Liz had found her own horse also colicking. She seemed quite bright when we were there (the horse that is, Liz was knackered) but we left the yard feeling a little bad that we had been off having a lovely time while so much trouble was going on back home.
A good start to the year for us, but dampened by everyone else's experiences.
