How are you spending the last hour of 2022?

ottolwinner

Im spending it alone here, reflecting on events of the last year and considering ways I might approach things differently for the year ahead. Candle lit for the year ahead.

Tv is on with the usual build up to a new years eve countdown that might be a few seconds out.

Off to pop on the kettle now.

How are you spending this last hour of the year?

Jim_Hodge

At home with my wife. Half watching TV, having a drink and eating chocolate. Might pack it in and go to bed before midnight.

Gremlinertia

Working and trying to keep warm..

stargazer 68

At home with wine and cheese. Absolute and utter trash on the tv!!

Watching a horrendous fkeetwood Mac cover on rte 1

Kermit.de.frog

Happy Halloween everyone 🎃

osarusan

Playing my 24th game of online chess of the day.

I'm a simple man.

Let the last hour be the hardest.

SuperBowserWorld

Just finished watching Invasion of the body snatchers from 1956 ! Was excellent. Need to find some snacks now. Maybe a glass of wine.

Star Bingo

Pilchards and soup

Seneca the Stoic

Watching the rte NYE show and trying to be as forgiving as possible

6/7 R&C's in (Rum and Cokes for the uninitiated) and ordered a curry because I have an attack of the munchies (but also to see if they'll deliver at this hour), while online with a few of the lads talking shyte :D

Happy New Year all!

Drinking Peppermint tea and watching the countdown on the couch with the Mrs.

Was supposed to head into town but canned it as too ill with a chest infection that has completely ruined Christmas this year. I'll be able to see the fireworks from the balcony and will be in bed by 12.30.

Its the soberest NYE I've had in a good while that's for sure.

elperello

There's a card game in the corner keeping the rest entertained.

I'm happy out here on the phone.

Happy New Year.

Xander10

Burning the last of the roses and quality streets in the fire.

tippspur

Should be out getting pissed but home with a dose of Flu, drinking Lem-Sip instead of Guinness...

Half the country seems sick. They were estimating 40000 at the NYE event, I heard that rounded down to 20000 now.

Anyhow happy new year to everyone and hope it brings all the positives your way.

that's just cos it's not very good

appledrop

Yep we have a sick child here aswell, every household seems to have someone ill.

Thankfully we were all OK for Christmas itself.

Finishing off the end of 1899 on Netflix, diabolic stuff but I promised my husband we would finish it.

My pick earlier was Aftershock The Nepal Earthquake which I'd highlight recommend.

Look on bright side we won't be wating 3 hours for a taxi home like I did in my younger years!

mojesius

I spent it drinking hot whiskey listening to music with my husband. I'm sick with that sinus the virus crap so soldiered through. 2022 was a bit of a shite year in all honesty, glad to see the back of it.

Well for once they actually got the countdown right, we put it on for last 5 mins, god Westlife are truly awful, in their 40s but think they are still in their 20s😏

another good one is The Volcano, resuce from Whaakari, not very happy watching though for the most part.

cuttingtimber22

The concert thing in RTE was sh1te. It really is hard to pay that licence fee.

Oh I know that's even better, we watched it the other night.

Its so well made but heartbreaking, you need the box of tissues ready.

Danno

Spent the last hour like most of the Christmas with a half-dose that won't either fcuk off with itself or kick in - kinda half way house between feelin crap and able to function is almost dystopian.

Have to say that the fare from RTE1 was absolute tosh - herself fell asleep after one wine, granted she's in the same halfway house dose I've got too.

I watch the fireworks on BBC at midnight. Wouldn't even bother with RTE's canteen interviews

Goldengirl

Jools Holland with a bottle or two and the OH and one son.. Others out and one away abroad 12 hours ahead!

Happy New Year everyone!

Strumms

With family, watched Jools Holland… drinks, snacks / nibbles and just chilled….happy new year !

Leg End Reject

Spent it at home with 2 friends, music and a few drinks and nibbles. We missed the countdown. 😆

Like @appledrop said, I'm fcuked if I'm waiting for a taxi that won't show, I've done my time for that! They had a lift sorted so both are home safe and sound.

Happy new year to you all, may it be a good one. 🎉🎉🧨
