…from a very blustery and torrential Aberdeen. Appropriate, then, that Wet Wet Wet are headlining at the city centre bash down at the Castlegate.

At least that does seem to be going ahead, though, unlike Glasgow’s celebrations which have been cancelled due to the weather. But regardless of that, I’ll be sitting indoors in the warmth with friends rather than braving the cold, rain and crowds.

I was showing the St Silasites round some of Old Aberdeen earlier today and got utterly drenched, after having assured them that Aberdeen was a much drier city than Glasgow. I don’t think they believe me.

Anyway, have a grand Hogmanay and a brilliant 2007 wherever you are and however you see it in.
