It's Hogmanay (New Year's Eve for those of you outside Scotland) and the biggest party of the year is about to take place in Edinburgh. It's claimed that anything up to half a million people come to this now annual event to watch great bands perform outdoors in the cold, eat loads of food cooked al fresco and watch one of the best fireworks displays in the UK.
If you want to see a little of what's involved, look at http://www.bitweb.tv/edcham/winter_0809/ and click on the third item down "Edinburgh's Winter Festivals".
Sadly, I won't be able to join in as I've been off with a bug that just refuses to go away and a night out in what the weather men say may be a low of -7c is not what I need at all. Tomorrow, the neighbours are holding open house so a short stagger of 50m won't hurt.
Happy New Year everyone.
