12.10am on New year's Eve . . .

We hosted a nibbles and drinks show at our place on New Year’s Eve. We made a whole heap of finger food - felafel, chicken and pistachio balls, beef koftas, smoked salmon blinis. We never did get around to the cheese plate or the fruit platter.

We sort of had two shifts come through. About half the people came early and then moved on and then a second ‘sitting’ came later and stayed on. We hadn’t planned to do anything special at midnight and the ‘event’ went past without anyone really noticing. We wished each other ‘Happy New Year’ at about 12.10am. Woops.
