New Year's Eve 2009

My free bus ticket took me to the still glittery Churchill Square shopping centre, to the sales, and everything closed around 4pm! It feels odd not to know what day it is... a woman asked me if I thought the shops would be open tomorrow. Is this the result of a 10 day christmas break? Will it still feel like that when "every day's a holiday" ? (ha ha)

It's also a Blue Moon - the thirteenth moon in a year. The clouds are scudding across it, but this is what it looks like at 18h in Brighton tonight. 
Seven Directions Tours' http://www.sevendirections.net Facebook entry says " last time a Blue Moon appeared on New Year's Eve was in 1990, and it won't happen again until 2028. It has to be a special end and beginning!"

The website also says "Did you hear about "age management"? Well, if you didn't -yet- it means that you are too young for it. When you have been 40, approaching 50 or beyond 60, it's time for it! Some slow time, a little meditation break, daily treatments, in your room or at a beautiful spa, space for learning to see and not just look, for walking in the beauty of nature, for savoring some well prepared food, for listening to music and for time to just BE." Sounds useful!
