January 1 - A New Day! About 2.30am, January 1 2000. I was tired about 30 minutes ago, but I'm wide awake now. We're still here, power's on, water's running. My parents live on the top floor of an apartment block overlooking the harbour and the city. It's a truly lovely place and view. We've just returned home from watching the fireworks display there. Spectacular. Cascading showers of shimmering gold and blue light. Circles and stars. Whirly-gigs and spiral twisters and fizzing rockets. Big KA-BOOMS. Deb and I were there with my parents and two friends of ours. We toasted the New Year with Champagne. Earlier in the evening we'd walked down along the waterfront. Calm, warm evening. Groups of people and families strolling along in the dark, a festive atmosphere. I held Debbie's hand as we walked. We sat on a bench and looked across the harbour. Deb told me she loved me. It was a good thing to be told on the eve of a new millennium. It's raining a little now. We want to stay up and go watch the sunrise on a south coast beach. It may be more of lightening of the grey skies though. I want to see how I feel at the sunrise. How I feel inside. I'll probably write later tonight. Enjoy the the turn of your New Year!
