We made our way to Queen Street Station. But first thing was first: food for the train, from Greggs! The trip from Glasgow to Edinburgh takes just under an hour. We get off at Haymarket and meet Lucinda. After dropping luggage at the flat, her and Kira are kind enough to take us into Princes Street and advise a route home for later.
A first for a brand New Year! Video footage of my back garden! Not just any video footage – a record of why New Years events all over the UK were cancelled at the last minute. Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool, Belfast – all gone (don’t try clicking the picture to the left – it’s just a screenshot – the video is found within the entry).
A dark, ghostly kind of day, down by the desolate, person-less Irish sea coast of the Ards Peninsula 2 days into the New Year - it was oddly beautiful. On a lighter topic, I spent New Years achieving the highest score in a Karaoke contest to Keane’s – Somewhere only we know. I don’t know which image is more haunting.
A very weird night, ending what was a very strange year. But just like the year, it was, overall, bizarrely alright. It may have looked to be taking a turn for disaster at one or two points, but in actual fact, everything turned out quite fine. Now the burning question: What will my entry a year from now be like? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Ah, the Limelight New Years Eve Party of 2003 – 2 rooms, 2 DJ’s and a night of unforeseen revelations, occurences, people, music and strange test tube shots that nobody really benefited from. A whole year summed up in one night. And as midnight came – it didn’t get much better. Sing me to sleep. And above you can see the original ticket stub.
