Home-cooked steak on the gas grill for dinner! After that we watched our DVD of “Fellowship of the Ring” – we had three hours before midnight and we wanted to drive down to the end of the street to watching the big synchronised firework display over the ‘Strip, so it seemed like a good way to pass the time, particularly as we were planning on seeing “The Two Towers” again with Derek and Teresa sometime in the next couple of days.

As it happened, midnight arrived faster than the end of the movie, so we “Took” a break and went out and braved the cold. We were not the only ones to do so! Lots of people driving out to find a place to pull over on a rise overlooking the valley.

They were quite good. Happy new year everyone.
