Just found this, though i would put it here :-4

If I could catch a rainbow

I would do it just for you.

And share with you it's beauty

On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain

You could call your very own.

A place to find serenity

A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles

I would toss them in the sea.

But all these things I'm finding

are impossible for me,

I cannot build a mountain

Or catch a rainbow fair

But let me be...what I know best,

a friend that's always there.

Well its 1.1.08 and its a beautiful sunny day here. The fireworks last night on the harbour was spectactular. I would of missed watching it because I was asleep but because of the party up the road which woke Shayden then woke Latesha I was up. I hope this year turns out to be a good year. There are going to be a few changes in our lives so fingers crossed.

Love to you all and take care:-4

First-Footing, in British folklore, especially that of the north and Scotland, is the first person who crosses the threshold after midnight at the end of New Year's Eve (in other words, the first person to enter the house on New Year's Day) [1]. Although it is acceptable in many places for the first-footer to be a resident of the house, they must not be in the house at the stroke of midnight in order to first-foot. Thus going out of the house after midnight and then coming back in to the same house is not considered to be first-footing.

Good luck is believed to be brought to the house by the First-Foot, and a female First-Foot is regarded with dread. In Lancashire a light-haired man is as unlucky as a woman, and it became a custom for a dark-haired male to be the one and only first-foot. In Worcestershire luck is ensured by stopping the first carol-singer who appears and leading him through the house. In Yorkshire it must always be a male who enters the house first, but his fairness is no objection.

The first-foot usually brings a gift of coal and salt. The coal representing "warmth" for the year ahead and the salt representing "flavour". Often bread is regarded as a good sign, indicating that the household won't go hungry in the year to come. In Scotland first-footing was always more elaborate than in England, involving a subsequent entertainment.

Also in Greek culture, first-foot has a significant place among Christmas customs. Thus, it is believed that the first person to enter the house on New Year's Eve brings either good luck or bad luck. Many households to this day keep this tradition and specially select who enters first into the house. After the first-foot, also called "podariko" from "podi" which means foot, the lady of the house serves the guests with Christmas treats to ensure that good luck will come in the New Year.

I love the way some UK'ers go to a hotel for a meal. They do the same thing in Ireland. I miss that at the beach. We don't have a lot of hotels that have nice restaurants. AND, if they do you pay a fortune for a meal.

He should have spent Christmas/New Year in the FrenchAlps, but his plane was cancelled, then he got food poisoning and geesch.. I'm glad I didn't know till after all that. Anyway, he's fine now, said he actually enjoyed a few days sleeping in front of DVDs - it had been a crazy busy year - after the initial disappointment passed. Sigh. Hate it when my kids are sick, and so far away. So I can't at very least cluck and hug them...Ahhhh thats a shame Pam......lots of hugs........gonna show you some pictures.....dunno if Ive bored you before with them.......if I have Im sorry!!!!:wah:
