I guess this post is a little premature, but this is one of the serviettes from the New Year's bash I was at. Hope you had a great evening!

Our second Disney night (and Stacey STILL wasn't happy with the choice of film! Although I could tell she secretly enjoyed it).

Went to see Wicked tonight, and it was pretty good. Not one of my favourites, but the singing from Kerry Ellis was amazing.

Sending out a few invitations to the new Gospel Choir... Let's hope some people come!

Christmas Cake. I think I love you.

Anna bravely takes on Paul on Guitar Hero... (He's like, amazing).

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!! Hope you've had a great day! This is my cousin Amy with her new guitar. She doesn't really play it yet, but she holds it very well, and is wearing her hat at a very jaunty, rockstar-like angle, don't you think?

Standing on the doorstep with my Nanna, singing Silent Night, as the young people from The Salvation Army went carol singing.

My first McDonalds since 1st September. And it was all I'd hoped for - well, almost. I'd somehow managed to order a burger with crisps in it.

I used to love going to Woolworths as a kid - and to go in there today and see signs saying 'Shelves and fittings also for sale'... It's sad...

Waiting for people to come to the corps carol service (don't worry, they did).

Carolling Part 4 (I like this one too).

The first time I'd seen Oscar in MONTHS. And every time I made this stupid noise, he laughed uncontrollably! (As did I!)

Carolling Part 3.

Carolling Part 2 (And a lovely photo, I think!)

Making the most of being in LONDON, BABY! A day of shopping and enjoying all things London. Katie wanted her photo taken in front of this - what she thought was 'nearly invisible' - snowman on Carnaby Street. I thought it was quite visible.

Carolling Part 1 (And I had my first mince pie of the season - at the same place where I had it last year [a somewhat similar photo!])

Came home to see my parents had had a beautiful picture from their trip to the Faroes made into a canvas.

London, baby!

Some of the gang from the Salvation Army at the fortnightly sports night. A LOT of fun and a great way to spend my last night in the Faroes!

A view of the road into the heart of Tórshavn.

The SMS centre all Christmasised. This is also where I stood doing my collecting.

I just took a photo of this because I thought it was picturesque... (Memo to self to find out why the flag was half-mast. It may also be necessary to find out the Faroese term for 'half-mast'.)

UPDATE: An MP had died and 'í hálvari stong'.

Christmas trees!

I had to lead my first Salvation Army meeting today... in Faroese!

I'm going to miss my Saturday nights of watching a Swedish crime film (Mankell's Wallander - excellent!) and eating Haribo eggs...

Collecting in the shopping centre. I enjoyed it, but it was a little intimidating doing it all in Faroese!

I've FINALLY found the machine to recycle my bottles! In the Faroes you pay a little extra for fizzy drinks, but get the money back when you take the bottles back. Annoyingly I hadn't been able to find the machine for ages - but today I did. And we're not talking pennies - I made £15 today!

I'd been waiting for the park to be snow-covered - and today it was!

This is just a view I love, with the boats in the background.

The little Christmas village they've built in front of Parliament (which could actually be a real Faroese village, but I don't think it is).

And the new 365 year and Christmas carolling get going. We played at the lighting of the Christmas tree in Hoyvík, and I have never been so cold when carolling!

I DID IT! This, my friends, is Photo 365. Read more here.

HUGE improvement today - I was able to go for a bit of a stroll, and I thought I'd take a photo of my favourite bookshop. I love this place! It was also the place to come for all your Mariah Carey-sticker needs, but after I mentioned them on my blog, they obviously became collectable, and are no more.

Rough and needing a shave, I was able to sit up (and even take a shower!):

I woke up this morning, unable to move, eat or drink... I have never felt this rough in my life. By 6pm, I'd managed to get to the shop over the road because I knew I had to drink something with sugar in it. While it may seem like a boring photo (well, it is), getting this bottle was a major achievement!

Not content with building their homes on the edges on cliffs, the Faroese like to make it as tough as possible to get in:

Today I received a DVD with some episodes of Harry Hill's TV Burp from England. Please tell me this Hole in the Wall programme isn't real... Faroe Islands, I'm sorry, but my people need me!

I've never seen this before...

I don't know how clearly you can see it on the photo, but this tree is a court case waiting to happen...
